Dudes, Dudettes, Single, Married II

I'm not married. I'm not dating. But I think much can be appreciated from this video as a single person. Because I know so many times in singleness I've been known to covet the idea of dating and being surrounded by married people, marriage. But the scriptures call that idolatry, and that is a bad thing. Dating isn't bad, marriage isn't bad. But allowing that to take the place of Jesus in what you worship is a terrible thing. Being single I pray about dating, I pray about marriage and in my prayers I pray that Christ would be exalted. That in a dating relationship/marriage (God willing that happens to me), God would be glorified and the love of Christ would be shown to the world through a marriage that would represent the way Christ loved his bride. Right now that is probably fairly distant, so I seek to serve God in my singleness. Not to impose upon scripture, but if I be single or dating I must learn to be content in Christ, for I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Even if that means a life of singleness for the Kingdom of Heaven. Praise be to God if it be in his will that he has in store for me as Whitefield put it, "a daughter of Abraham to be my wife."
