WHERE’S MY MATE?
Today is your opportunity to encourage those that truly want to be married but refuse to settle. Give them a word to comfort their hearts because anxiousness is starting to set in … Oh, and not just another church Cliche’.
The truth is some of the people are getting weary and they need a real word because some of them are on the VERGE of taking matters into their Own Hands. They’ve been working – laboring for the Kingdom – not sleeping around – making sacrifices and living holy …. but he/she has not come.
In fact, some people have decided to take matters into their own hands because of the wait – only to make great mistakes. I can hear the words of Sofia on Color Purpose … “Don’t do it Mrs. Celie. Don’t trade places with what I been through. He ain’t worth it, he ain’t worth it. ”
Please feel free to leave your comment to encourage others during this season.

I desire to be married again BUT I refuse to settle again. My mother, grandmother and great-grandmother have always told me “a hard head makes a soft behind”. #lessonlearned
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the Desire of your Heart. As being children of God we must first be full of Him for Him to even give us what we believe we want. Though sometimes what we want isn’t what God has already Desired for up to have. If we as single know that we were created to have a mate and we live according to God, then we know that only in His time will He grant us what we want. But only as He see’s it to be a need. If we choose to settle for the first guy or lady for my brothers, that shows us attention or interest towards us, we are most likely moving on our time or out of impatience. As we line ourselves up to allow God to work His Will for us, that He has already planned out, we won’t settle. But we will be able to embrace the perfect match that compliments who God formed us to be. We must know how to listen to our Spiritman. Sometimes we just want to be with another because we miss certain things of being involved, but we must realize when considering marriage
It isn’t just being involved, it is a lifetime commitment that takes team work. Both must consider the present and the future as working together to build what Purpose is placed for the two. Everyone isn’t designed to be married and everyone isn’t designed to be single. But when you are connected to God, He wants to see that you are first and foremost going to be Faithful to Him and the things He has called you to do before He Blesses you with a mate. Though we all have fallen short of Pleasing God, He does give you a chance to get it right, to prepare you for what you were already Ordained for. And in that time of singleness you must be content with being alone with Him and your individual Purpose. Being anxious can make you make choices that will set you up for life and kill your Spirit on the inside that soon will show on the outside.
Well said Ayesha Williams!! Although I’m single, I look at it like this: if we choose to wait for God’s best (Yes Elder Macklin I got that one from you, lol) then we must trust him! I feel God knows the exact second, minute, and hour when you and your mate shall cross paths!! I know I can’t become impatient if I choose to wait on God. One things for certain, we surely can’t move him any faster than he’s willing to go. Whenever I do find myself getting a little impatient, I began to go in the spirit on my husdand’s behalf(whomever he is), as well. I feel if I’m beginning to get weary so is he. I know this may sound a little weird, but I just feel my spouse and I are connected that way! Whatever you do, DO NOT SETTLE!!! This is just what I do everyone!! Hope this helps someone!!!! *Blessings*
