all my women, please read!

“By no means is it a tragedy to be a single Christian woman, by the way of the world has once again infiltrated Christianity with the false idea that it is. One of the greatest lies is that if you do not ‘have someone’ or are not ‘actively looking’, there is something wrong with you. Another lie is that the single woman should be dating around as though looking for a husband were the same as shopping in a mall. Still another even stronger lie is that the single woman should be giving her affections away indiscriminately so that she may be more ‘experienced’ and know what to do when she finally finds the man of her choice. My dear Christian, it is a lie and an affront to God to say that experience is the best teacher, when in fact it is God who is the best teacher, and though the world’s motto is ‘live and learn,’ the Bible’s advice is ‘learn and live.’ You do not need to be experienced, you only need to be knowledgeable of what God has said and obedient to it. You should not be looking for the man of your choice, but should be waiting on the man of God’s choice. And when he comes, it will not be past experiences that will make your marriage work, but past chastity, purity, and godliness. We should hide our faces from the ways and experiences of this wicked world and look upon only those things that God has placed in the pat He has prepared for us. 

God knows exactly what you need and He even knows the desires of your heart better than you do. God loves surprises. He does not what you to be looking for your husband, He wants to bring him to you, and probably at a time you least expect it. If you disobey this advice, as so many other women before you, and take it upon yourself to look for a mate, you may find someone, but chances are that someone you find will not be the right one.”
