Single - Searching after my Savior

I’m 27, single, and trying to be content about it. It isn’t easy, to be honest, I think it is one of the most challenging things that I’ve had to do in my life. There have been much harder things that I’ve been through and have happened. But as I get older, as my friends get married and have kids, it gets harder to be okay with being single. A line in a song recently struck me; it goes “How many gods have poured out their hearts, to romance a world that is torn all apart.” (How Many Kings, Downhere) I’ve heard all my life that the Bible is God’s loves letter to us. But I think it’s more than just that. He romances us every day to tell us how much he loves us. I’m going to spend the next year looking at the many ways that He romances me and try to keep my focus on my relationship with Him and not on an earthly romantic relationship. 

Day 1: January 1, 2015

            He paints me beautiful sunsets! The Lord knows that I love a beautiful sunset and sunrise. While I’m not always up early enough to catch a glimpse of the sunrise, I do get to see it set. The Lord never ceases to amaze me with the colors that blend together in the sky, the softness of the clouds, the golden or silver lining behind the clouds and the shafts of sunlight streaming through breaks in the clouds. It is one of the ways that the Lord shows His great love for me. It catches my eye and almost always takes my breath away.
