We should not seek Marriage ever as a goal. We should seek Christ as our goal. We should seek to minister to others. And if we actually believed God's word when He says we can minister to Him undistracted as singles we might never want to leave that season in our life.

"Have we built a barrier that Go...Dear Lynea,<br /><br />"Have we built a barrier that God isn't allowed to pass?" There's no sugar-coating this, is there, since He expects a complete heart! At the "why not's" part, I read through one at a time, searching my heart for that motive. It's amazing how little things take roots in corners and begin to alter our thinking without our ever consciously noticing it. (Guess this calls for constant *weeding*!) :) I don't want anything blurring my vision or limiting God to human dimensions, either. Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. Much love to you on your journey!<br /><br />EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-91558567587816220462016-04-27T22:57:20.204-07:002016-04-27T22:57:20.204-07:00Aw, Jana.

I wou...Thank you SOOO much for posting this, Lynea! I would like to weigh in as a newly married person (one month + two days!) who was still single at age 33 and fully accepting of that status. All the reasons you outline above for getting married are, in my mind, the ONLY reasons. It's not about getting it's about giving. It's not about status it's about following the will of God for your life. A year ago I had no intention of ever marrying because I felt it was God's will for me to be single. Then along came a man who changed all that for me...but the neat part is that it had very little to do with this particular guy at first. I'd known him a long time and was never interested. It had to do with God making it extremely clear to me that He had a plan for us and I had to step out in faith and I'm still amazed at how God fit all the pieces together so perfectly and without my help :) <br />I hope this is an encouragement to your readers to not seek marriage for its own sake, but to seek God for His sake and His glory and then whatever He brings into their lives will be wonderful. <br />Marriage is wonderful. I'm enjoying it. But my singleness was wonderful too and I enjoyed it while it lasted. I would not trade either experience. <br />Lots of love to you. Keep going on and keep writing!<br />JanaJana-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695337337919124103noreply@blogger.com
