Real or Imagined

Being single, now that is real. Sometimes singleness is a good real thing and sometimes it is a bad real thing. But no doubt, it is REAL!!

What about God? Is He as real to us as our singleness? Or do we put God in a special imaginary place when the stuff hits the fan? What stuff, you say?

• Loneliness - Feelings of isolation can lead us to question if God really exists or if He really cares
• Sexual Temptation - When confronted with sexual desires, we often treat God like this is one of those things that He best not know about.
• Jealousy - Instead of praising God for the blessings He has granted other singles, we sometimes wonder why them and not us.
• Concern - Far too often, we are more concerned about our struggles to give a darn about what others are going through. Our plea is, "God, pay attention to me, not them!!"

In our interactions with each other, we declare whether or not God is real or imagined. If our singleness is real, why would we want to serve a God that is just a figment of our imagination?
