Hello All My Fellow Single Sisters!
I was reading another blog today that spoke about something we don't often talk about: Jesus' singleness. It's definitely something that I never considered or thought about. But it makes perfect sense. Yes, Jesus was God, but the Bible also tells us that He was fully man, and experienced all the trials and temptations that we ourselves experience.
"Through all the challenges of work and ministry, through all His testings and trials, He never knew the comfort, encouragement, and support that a mate might have provided. Likewise, He never knew the blessing of having children of His own." (True Woman)
"Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Hebrews 12:3
If you feel as though no one understands what you're going through, consider Him. He walked the same path before us, and He knows what we are going through. So, whether you're single for a season, or one whom God has chosen to remain unmarried, embrace the calling that He has lead you to and be sustained by His loving grace. I don't know about you, but this brings amazing peace to my heart. Whenever I feel as though I'm walking this journey alone, I can turn to Him, for He knows EXACTLY what I am going through.
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16
wow... that is for sure something we never think about.
