When Does It Get Better?

We are all a part of something. We are members of families, churches, schools, places of business, social organizations and we are involved in a variety of relationships. God has charged us with making better those things, people and relationships that we are involved with.

When does it get better?

I hope that Christian singles are submitting themselves to the Holy Spirit to the extent that:

  • Members of our families are clearer on God’s will for their lives
  • Our platonic friends are increasingly becoming more emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy
  • Our romantic partners are consistently growing toward their God-ordained potential
  • Others in our social and career circles are better off for having us in their lives

It is a downright shame that people we know and/or care for are only experiencing positive changes in their lives AFTER we are gone. It is God’s will that we be part of the solutions in the circumstances of others and not part of the problem. God has promised to make things better for all of us. It is our choice as to the role we will play in the fulfillment of this promise. By being faithful to God’s calling in our lives, we single Christians can step forward when the question is asked; “When does it get better?
