I read through my old journals in preparation for our sharing at the Youth Fellowship this Friday. I smiled, laughed, and cried as I read my own hand-writings. Can't help but praise the Lord for His mercy, goodness, and faithfulness. I found this poem that I want to share to my single sisters and brothers. May this be a blessing.
"The Single Gift"
How blessed you are, you single one,
Don't talk of care and woes.
You've got too much to be thankful for,
Oh what, you'd like to know.
It's no mistake, no misdirection
Of God's perfect plan
That you've not found your special lady
Or you, that certain man.
God loves you so and has much more
To give then you've ever received.
That He's giving His best to you right now,
You really must believe.
His best is Himself, do you have it in full
Or only a bit on the side?
No man can meet your needs like God,
Nor can a lovely bride.
If your life's not complete, you know that Jesus is
And your life He will fill
If you'll only put Him first each day
And live to do His will.
He's gifted you for undistracted
Devotion to the Lord.
There should be nothing that can interfere
With Him and prayer and the Word.
Unless you let down the guard of your heart
And let others take His place,
Then you'll lack joy and peace and hope
And not experience His grace.
So give your heart right back to God,
Let Him keep it safe for you.
And when it's better then His best,
He'll make your one into two.
