I know I’ve thought it.
“I deserve a man. I’m following God. I’m living my life for Him. Doesn’t that mean I deserve a boyfriend?”
But God doesn’t work that way.
We actually deserve nothing. Nada. Yet, we still feel entitled. We believe we should get our way and when we don’t, we get angry and doubt God’s love.
“I am guilty. Ashamed of what I’ve done, what I’ve become. These hands are dirty. I dare not lift them up to the Holy one. You plead my cause. You right my wrongs. You break my chains. You overcome. You gave Your life. To give me mine. You say that I am free – how can it be? How can it be?
I’ve been hiding. Afraid I’ve let you down, inside I doubt that You still love me, but in Your eyes there’s only grace now.”
The lyrics above are from a beautiful song by artist Lauren Daigle titled ‘How Can It Be’. Have you ever said those words?
Have you ever felt so guilty that God couldn’t love you?
Have you ever felt so dirty that you couldn’t worship our Savior?
Dear Single Lady,
Do you believe a boyfriend will fill the emptiness in your life and heart? I’ve been there. But let me tell you, a boyfriend does not fill the emptiness. My married friends have told me that neither does a husband. Yet, this lie is something so many single women believe.
Why do we think we need boyfriends in order to feel complete?
