Show Notes

“I don’t see myself the way God sees me. I was seeing myself through the lens of the person I was dating.
We are made for relationships and connection.
“I think what I am learning in this whole journey of being single after being married is that I just desire to become the person I am meant to be.”
“I was seeking relationships to fill voids that only God could fill.”
“When you are single, there is so much work to be done because our identities have been formed in relationship to others.”
“Relationships define so much around us.”
“I think God has a lot of people for us. I think marriage is one thing, and it is an important thing. But I also think the reality is we are humans, and our relationships that can be fully satisfying can function a little bit like an island of intimacy.”
“Until we let God love us, we can’t love ourselves. And until we love ourselves, we can not love another.”
We ask the question if God has anyone for us. Well, He has Himself for us. And yes, He invites us into relationship.
In seasons of singleness, we have time to show up and be present for the loved ones we have around us. Be careful not to overlook that.
“Flip the question and instead of asking if God has anyone for us, ask ‘Can I be someone for God?’”
