Ep.04 All Wrapped Up: 'My Thoughts & A Recap on Singleness: Blessing or Curse'

Episode Summary

In this All Wrapped Up episode, I do a recap of the key takeaways from the series on 'Singleness: Blessing or Curse' and bring everything together from a Biblical  perspective. I also share a bit about my own struggles and how God helped me through it. 

Key Takeaways

• Look  at the things inside of us that we need to work on because we cant take  these into a relationship, much less a marriage and expect it to be  fruitful (3:51)
• Recognize  that some Christian men may have different perspectives about  singleness. Whereas Christian women tend to want to rush into marriage,  the men want to wait and focus on 'becoming the best version of  themselves including building their career, studying etc'. This is  something we need to take into consideration when we are dating because  it can cause friction in our relationships (6:05)
• Singleness is a blessing (10:35)
• Even  when you have urges, even when you're feeling desperate, even when  other people are causing you to feel horrible about your singleness,  there's a strategy that God has for you. (16:56)

Top Quotes

• For  any form of relationship, you have to find yourself and be comfortable  with yourself and recognize that you need to be a better person (4:06)
• The scripture talks about when a man finds a wife, he finds a good thing. Let us focus on being that good thing (12:25)
• The  Scripture says God made us in His image and likeness and that we are  masterpieces. Let us pull out that masterpiece that's inside of us  (12:59)
• God  gives us good things and he has a solution for everything. And so if we  have urges, if we're feeling desperate, he has a solution for us. we  can ask him for strategies (13:46)
• Use this time as a single person to make it a blessing, to create the opportunities that will make it a blessing for you (16:45)
• This single time is Gold (17:05)
