Were you meant to be single?

There Adam was in the garden--single. God said that he needed a helper. He wasn't complete. God brings Adam eve in his sleep.

Today, we have become so frustrated with the institution of marriage that many end sentences about being married, but God might call me to singleness.

A calling to singleness is rare. I have a calling to ministry and that is rare. God didn't come from the clouds one day and say Chris you are going to be a preacher. One day in the height of my success as an Army Officer going into the Special Forces, I felt God say in words louder than audible, "It's time." That meant time to go to seminary.

I wasn't sad about it. I was relieved and excited that I was now going to be able to go and pursue my dream of being a pastor. So now when it comes to singleness, you will know you were meant to be single when while walking in the Spirit the only thing you want to be is single.
