It It Your Superpower?

    Dear single people, you are single for a reason. No, it's not because of your bad BO or you have a face only a mother could love. It's because at this moment, you have a better chance at Heaven as a single person than in a relationship.

    We get so caught up with "the good ones are all taken" as if men and women are trophies. In the movie Miracle, the USA hockey coach said "I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones." People are not rated trophies. We all bring something unique into each relationship we're in. Marriage happens when the guy and gal brings gifts to the marriage that pulls them self and their spouse closer to God.

    If you haven't met that person, it's for one of two reasons. Either you need to prepare before you meet your spouse so that you and him/her have the best chance of getting to heaven, or God is calling you to a greater life. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 reads, "Now to the unmarried and widows, I (Paul) say: it is a good thing for them to remain as they are, as I do, but if they cannot exercise self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to be on fire." If you can control your desires, you can do so much more of God's work as a single person than you could as a married person. As a single person, you can support more people than just your spouse. Having that self-control is a gift from God, and don't let anyone tell you different. Remember that marriage is not an end goal. It is a gift from God to help certain people get into heaven.
    A tip for everyone out there, if you aren't comfortable with being single, you're not ready for a relationship. You're simply defining yourself by the guy/girl you're dating.
