Single women who possess no romantic
interest in me whatsoever will ask me, “Why are you single?” as if I’m this
amazing guy who should have a girlfriend.
I answer them with complete honesty, “I really do not know.” Maybe I’m not attractive enough, maybe I’m
not talkative enough; it could be any number of reasons. Every relationship I’ve had has met with
colossal failure, and any attempt I’ve made at having a relationship or even
going on a date since my last relationship two years ago has also met with
colossal failure. For many years I have
had this endless hope that I would find a phenomenal woman of God that I’d be
blessed to spend the rest of my life with.
And I had right reasons to believe so.
I used to believe that I’m reasonably attractive, and I am still aware
of my sharp intelligence and the admirable qualities of my life ambitions as
well as my great faith in Christ.
However, that hope has now vanished.
I’ve had many conversations with people about God having a plan for the
right woman for me. They’d list many
reasons why I’m compatible for the right woman:
that I’m an attractive, intelligent young man of God with great
ambitions. I used to believe that those
qualities were enough for a woman to be even remotely attracted to me, but
nowadays, not so much. In everything my
faith in God is unshakable, but I admit that I’ve lost my faith in Him blessing
me with a woman of His name. He has
revealed many amazing things to me in His proper timing due to my patience, but
I am struggling with this one thing. He
knows I suffer with loneliness, and yet I remain alone.
It
is true that with Christ we are never alone.
However, God designed us to desire and to have tangible relationships
not just with people but also with somebody of the opposite sex in an intimate
and even marital relationship. Jesus
Christ completes us, but there are other things in life that complete us as
well. A good career, stable finances, and
the love of your life are among those things
