CULTIVATING SINGLENESS:Waiting for your turn to be loved

What if your waiting won't makes you happy anymore? always make you feel insecure and envious. Yearning for someone's love and care gets increase as day and night passes by. Why we need to wait when we can just choose anyone to fulfill our desire for love? 

It isn't new at all. It has been a controversy in our society. Those who are single feel pressured everyday. When you scroll up your social media accounts you can see happy couples who posted their romantic moments together.
Your friends handed you their wedding invitations. Called you to attend their baby showers. Even when you go outside you will see many couples flirting in public.
That is why, you, being single feel like you are not belong to the circle. And you will face yourself in the mirror saying: "Pangit ba ako? Kapalit-palit ba ako?" (Am I ugly? Am I replaceable?)
And your conscience will answer you. "Hindi ka si Liza Soberano." (You are not Liza Soberano) Well, your conscience is just too honest. Give yourself a chance na makapagself-pity.  (Give yourself a chance to feel pity)

What is the purpose of waiting? 

First: To refrain you from jumping into contractual relationships after-not-so-hurtful break ups. 
Don't waste your effort, time and money to such playful relationships. You are not getting any profit from it.

Second: To make yourself ready for the one you've been praying for. You are physically, emotionally, mentally, economically prepared. 

You need not to be perfectly ready. What I mean is, we have inborn flaws so, just develop the good things you've possessed and you will become a package.

"Waiting is always a decision."

 If you see yourself being single then definitely you've chosen that status. No one forces you to make that decision. 

You are the only one knows the reason behind it. You were probably been hurt before and still in the process of healing the heart. You might not yet found the one who will sweep off your feet or maybe, there is someone special who wants to have romantic relationship with you but then you are waiting for God's confirmation or signs. 

There are many reasons to justify your waiting. 
 So, don't get bored. 
🌹Be productive while you wait. 🌹Go travel around the globe,
🌹 invest in stock market,🌹 be a vlogger or a  blogger, 
🌹involve yourself in missions, 🌹unleash the passion within you. 

Don't  just stuck up yourself from where you are now. Enjoy your singlehood for now, because when you are about to enter the matrimonial life, it is another story for you to enjoy. 
If you feel like you want to give up and just pick someone who shows interest in you and settle down with him/her... You've just wasted those years you invested in waiting. Love must be the foundation of relationship not boredom or desperation. 

Few tips to know that He/She's a good shot: 

✔️She's ready to bear you sons and daughters.
✔️He can provide shelter and food for his family.
✔️She can handle her own emotions as well as yours. 
✔️ He fears God and valued his family. 

In our waiting we need to pray for God's strength so we can endure the season.

 Let me share few inspiring verses that will make your heart romantic not hopeless. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Habakkuk 2:3
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

Acts 1:7 
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority."

We should not limit God for what He can do. We live in materialistic world that has worldly standards. Remember that the world won't care for us but for itself alone. If we listen to its deceiving influences we will regret at the end. 
Be confidently proud of your singleness. The person we unceasingly pray to God will soon find its way to our hearts. 

"Do not awaken love until the time is right" 
Songs of Solomon 8:4
