What up lovelies? As we know that wonderful day of Love is soon approaching where many will snuggle up with a boo, or at least wish they had someone to snuggle up with. Maybe, I am a weirdo because I just plain and simply don’t care about Valentines day right now as I am a single.
I am not imagining myself snuggling up with an imaginary boo-thing, but instead I am appreciating the love that I already have. Often times in our wishing and hoping for the future, we end up forgetting all about what we have, and becoming UN-thankful.
In all things give thanks for this is the will of God concerning us. 1 Thessalonians 5:8
At work today, I have been quietly communing with the Lord under my breathe singing, praying in the spirit, and feeling God’s presence. As I walked out on my lunch break today, I began to pray out loud getting into my car thanking God for the ability to feel his presence, and to know that he is real. There are so many out there who don’t even have that. We are so blessed as the children of God.
Not only am I blessed with the privilege to recognize and commune with God in his presence, but I am blessed to be in a position of wholeness where my worth as a single woman is not contingent upon a day, whether I get flowers or chocolate or a title of wife or girlfriend. My worth and worthiness of love is contingent upon the fact that it just is. I am just worthy of love because God made me that way, and he loves me for me.
Many of us are guilty of putting off or not appreciating the love that we already have due to wanting a romantic love. It is just as important to celebrate the love that we already have such as from of our parents, siblings, and friends as singles while waiting on romantic love.
In a world, where people put God off for the immediate attention of another to feel loved, desired, or sought after for a day, a few months, or however long some of these relationships last; It is best to reflect on and appreciate the love that we already have in Christ as the foundation and allow other loves in our life to grow off of that. Love founded on Christ is the love that will truly last, and that is the type of love that I want as a single and am willing to wait for. #Thankful 🙂
