How the Church Can Encourage Singles
When I was studying at DTS, I joined the choir at my church. That group provided a wonderful community, as the members invited me to spend holidays and enjoy summer barbecues with them and their families. I felt included and welcomed into their lives. And I never felt that I needed to explain why I lacked a spouse. God constantly reminded me that I needed to trust him, even though I didn’t understand why he kept me single during that time. God’s guidance helped me understand Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
