There were eight songs on Solomon’s lips.
The last verse 8, got stuck on my fingertips:
“We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts;
what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?”
A sister with no breasts??
That’s physically incorrect!
Granted, she must have had something on her chest
but I think it means she’s highly deficient
in knowledge, growth and readiness.
Hi.
I’m single.
..and not the kind of single with a label.
No, I do not have dreadful past,
Or hidden issues (hint: submission).,
Nor do I have a tall list of the standard of my Adam
I’ve actually been told for them, this is a period of sleep.
Well!, mine must’ve taken a bottle of Valium.
I’m single.
Period.
Not, ‘Single and Searching’
‘Single and Desperate’
‘Single and Happy’…. (but really deeply sad).
or the recent one I just heard,
‘Single and Planning the wedding’
‘…and later on, fix in the man.’ Lol.
I’m just plain Single!
A lot of ministries have struggled to label our ‘predicament’
Some call it a ‘Phase’
Others say it’s a ‘growth place’.
‘A period for the good old wait’
‘Time to shed off all your ungodly weights’.
Which is all good and plausible
Until a certain age threatens to show its face
And then it becomes a ‘spiritual plague’.
‘This lady is beyond thirty and unattached”
Her family devils better get ready for a prayer attack!
Church please!!!
Is the aisle the final prize for an Eve??
It’s almost like
‘Wow! Congratulations! God has blessed you.
You struggled through the loneliness
Here’s a ring for a trophy
A token for your graduation!’
And though highly pro-marriage, I must admit
The wrong picture painted have left a lot of us
Coveting marriage with vain motives!
Ladies please,
God is the reason for your existence
And if you’ll get close enough
You’ll see how jealous He is for you.
So precious His creation you are
He’ll definitely not hand you over to a fool.
But He desperately needs you and all of you!
With your affections set on Him
He will draw you away from temptation
leading you to make better decisions
For a time is coming,
When my sister will develop breasts.
And if she has been a wall
Strong and sturdy,
Unswayed by this world,
its seductions and theories,
She shall be honoured!
But even that will be another step in the journey
Still all about God and you, His chosen creation
So question is
Where are you now??
Who is God to you now!??
Are you expecting to know God after you meet the one??
HE is the reason for your being!
Until this truth, you encounter
You’ll just go round and round
with no one, rings and babies.
Highly unsatisfied.
God is why you breathe!
If you would keep this in your mind’s eye
And run this race, eyes on the final prize
It won’t matter if you are single or someone’s wife
You’ll be content.
Knowing your name
can be found on HIS list
As a vessel,
Acting out HIS script.
Engaged.
Divorced.
Married.
Single.
You’re HIS!
Period.
