I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that (1 Corinthians 7:-7).

If you are single, your singleness is a gift from God. You have the opportunity to focus on him in a way no married person can. Your time, energy, and resources are completely his to use.  Rejoice in that gift. 

If you are married, your marriage is a gift from God. You get to live out the representation of Christ’s relationship to his Church. You have the opportunity to be built up and sharpened by the most intimate of relationships. Rejoice in that gift.

Beloved, both marriage and singleness are gifts from God, Neither is more spiritual than the other. Live the life that is before you and glorify God with it.

Happy Friday, Beloved
