Being Single and Happy:

In my most humble opinion...being single is best experienced when done 'on purpose'...just as being happy is.  It takes a made up mind not to settle for less of anything, and a conscious effort to be obedient to the Word of God in order to experience the full affects of being both single and happy. 

A level of independence is also a key element in being happy while single.  Don't be fooled in believing man, or woman (alone) can achieve this for you.

Yes, it's a wonderful thing when you're blessed with someone who is Godly, and is truly God's gift to you.  But, ask yourself, “How many people do I know have had the courage and fortitude to truly wait on the Lord for this blessed gift?  How many even have the capacity to live a joyful life (alone) totally waiting on the Lord?”  I can honestly say that I know one.

It's not enough to have come from 'good stock; to have been born with a silver spoon in one's mouth.  All the degrees and wealth in the world will not ensure a happy life...single, or otherwise. 

Folk need their priorities in order on an individual basis before getting involved with someone on a collective level.  It's insane to continue making the same mistakes, over and over in relationships, and expect different results.  Folk just aren't getting it. 

They aren't learning to master believing in, and loving themselves.  Too often they allow folk to enter into their 'camp' (who doesn't belong there to begin with), gain their trust, only to be betray by them.        

God's Word is specifically designed for instruction in every facet of life and living; including love, marriage and single living.  The problem is...a large portion of society have no desire to rely on that method of instruction.  Hence...an abundance of failed relationships, divorce and promiscuity are on the rise. 

Moreover, older men are leaving women (their own age) out of the dating scene, pedophilia is widespread, and young girls and boys (in many cases) consent to becoming a pervert's sexual object.

Being single and happy is not a difficult thing to achieve.  All It takes is an outward expression of an inward transformation, a made up mind with definiteness of purpose.
