“Déborah, isn’t it difficult to be unmarried? Especially in your position?”

This question comes up more and more often as I get older.

I always wonder how best to answer. Because may I tell you the truth? I’m so, so good with it! Yes, I am so happy to serve God! I am happy to see how many people can be blessed by this work and I am happy to be able to entrust my future to God! To really trust.

And just as I may inspire you, I also have my role models. Abraham motivates me so much! Do you know what is written about him?

“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’” (Romans 4:18 NIV)

That’s how I live and that’s how I always want to live!

Yeah, why should I sadly think about what I don’t have when I can be happy with what I have? People may think that my clock is ticking, that my time is passing quickly. But God knows what He has planned for me, how my actions and attitudes will please Him and bless others. 

Just as He allowed Zechariah and his wife to become parents in their old age (see Luke 1:11-15 NLT) . That was God’s plan for them, and He used them to be a blessing to all humankind. You too can trust that He will include you in His plan as you continue to serve Him!

Yes continued faithful service is the key!

Zechariah also prayed for a child for many, many years. He could have lost hope, because he felt that God had let him down. Perhaps he wondered why the prayers of others were answered, but not his own. Have you ever thought that way?

Instead, Zechariah continued to serve God faithfully…and then he experienced his miracle! (see Luke 1:8-11 NLT

As you continue to serve God, you too will see Him meet you again and again! Yes, while you continue to serve Him, He will do what He is so good at: prepare your miracle!

Believe in Him. Trust Him. Keep serving Him. It gives God joy and glory, and you too can know this joy.

You are a miracle!

    ~+~ AMEN ~+~

    I want to be a blessing to my husband and others each day. I’ve been praying for Jesus’ mercy and physical healing for me and my husband, as well as emotional healing and strength for me to surrender ALL of my cares to Jesus and be close to our Abba Father in heart and mind.

    I needed your words today.
    I am single. Now at 73.
    God has blessed me with my work
    I have been an athlete most of my life.
    I became an excellent swimmer
    And Through it all I developed a skill to coach and teach swimming
    I built my up my own swim business and God has richly blessed me.
    I love children and even though I never had any.The Lord has a way of filling that void.
    Thank you

    Hi Deborah, This message is encouraging, but I have always wanted to be married and as I turn 65 it has caused me great heartbreak that it never happened for me. I have been working through being okay with singleness since I was 30 and it has been a battle. I fought hard to appreciate that God’s will for me may not include marriage.

    Thank you for sharing and my I one day be complete in singleness!
