Don't Settle For Less Just Because It's Available

Let's face it. We all get lonely sometimes. It doesn't mean that life isn't good or that we're not generally happy. It just means that we crave connection. This doesn't have to come just from romantic relationships though. And maybe for some, it hits particularly hard around the holidays.
It's okay to feel lonely sometimes. But don't settle for less than God's best just because it's available. There will be a lot of people who cross your path that will be a temptation. They might be attractive and they smile at just the right time. Or maybe it's not even someone you would normally give your attention to but they are there, and hey are available. Stop! Have you prayed about it? The disappointment and heartache that come from getting into relationships or even falling for someone that is not for us really isn't worth it. It is better to meet someone and become friends with no expectations of anything more. This way you will know if this person is for you. If you want to be happy in a relationship, you first have to be happy with yourself and by yourself. Don't rely on another person for your happiness and peace. You are in charge of that. While the people in our lives are definitely blessings, true contentment must come from God. He is the only One who can give you true peace. Embrace your singleness because believe it or not God is using this time to bless you and help you to grow. It is in this alone time that you will learn who you are, what you want, what you deserve and how amazing God truly is. If you want true happiness, build your life on Christ. Your future spouse should have to look for God to find you. When the time is just right, God will let you know. Don't settle for someone because them happen to be there and you don't want to be alone. We are never truly alone. God is always there. He is always faithful and ready to listen and move on your behalf. Wait for the one that will bless you. The one you connect with. The one God knows is right for you. Focus on the good things already in your life and work on the things that could be better. Work on yourself. God is always on time!
