Jesus Freak and Living Single

I was asked today about what a person gets out of marriage verus livign single..
I walked away for awhile to think about it..

I returned with this though "there is a difference of living single and being single"

To live single means a life where you find happiness and dedication to our one God, it is much like that of taking a vocation of the Holy orders, meaning, to remain pure in your life and chaste so you can concentrate on serving God

But i dont think many of today's youth are thinkking about Single this way..
So what do you get in marriage?
The commitment, the vow provides happiness, a gift of Life and a reflection of our Lord's union with the Church, we are called and made for eachother, and thats that.

So as a single, do you live as a single or just be a single?
God's love for us calls us to purity, calls us to greater things, it calls us to Love others.

With todays world of instant gratification and happiness, no wonder so many cant see beyond the blinders of society to see real Love.

Once again, Love is the answer, and living single, although hard, and keeping pure, although hard is achieved from a love of God, and love for whoever God has ready for you.

An email I read this morning said dare to be different, even if society wants you otherwise. I agree.. be different Love Jesus with all your heart and soul, and let him work wonders in your life, to be Single is to be ready and armed and entrusting fully in Jesus our Lord.

I think being a freak for that is well worth it.

Believe and Live!
