“The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalm 34:10
Growing in Godly Contentment is a holy work! I just posted a devotion “Waiting on God”— I don’t know, but maybe it would encourage you while you continue to wait on God 💞
I enjoyed reading this Rebecca. More than just your vulnerability I enjoyed your God-focusedness, knowing that He is loving and also knows best and that you alone in Him is enough. This then frees you to be honest about your desires, which I don't think are a problem at all to God. And also your graciousness to recognise that despite the hurtful or unhelpful things other belivers have said to you about being single, that they are also imperfect beings in the process of being fathered. Our personal relationship with God is of paramount importance, and we have to allow other people's words to pass by our own hearts and recognise that people are not always going go be perfect in what they express, but nor are they often malicious in their intentions.
By God's grace, He has helped me to be content in waiting, even for good things. Perhaps, even for that reason, it is more so encouraging to read the different routes (as you put it) of His fathering of various individuals.
As always, your centeredness on God and His principles, instead of a me- or i-centric approach, which is so rampant in this dispensation (age/era), is very much welcome and refreshing!
Needed this. so. much. I don't tend to struggle with contentment for marriage but I do struggle with contentment in my work life & other areas. I am at the beginnings of this journey, the journey of realizing this life isn't looking like what I thought. Thank you for writing this. It reminds me to pause and maybe mourn? And trust Holy Spirit to work in me - contentment-
I love this post! Like you, I have not been given marriage, and it’s been amazing to see all of the beauty God has brought out of “my worst fear” of being single indefinitely. It can be really hard, but through it, I have come to know the all-satisfying character of God and find my all in Him. He knew what I needed.
I love this. I'm definitely in this season of sober and soloness and it feels really good for once.
Gotta love it <3 Thank you for reading, Mia!
