Tonight, I took the time to finish a book that I was reading. The title is not important because I do not want you to focus on that. It was a page-turner with a mixture of romance, suspense and action. Sort of like our lives, isn’t it?
If your singleness were a book, would it be a good read or bad one? In a sense, each of us is the author of our own books of life. God is our editor. He suggests corrections and recommends a few changes here and there. Our Divine Editor is so accomplished; that He does not force His will on us and He has nothing to gain (or lose) with the advice He gives. All He does is for our good and He gives us the freedom to follow His guidance or reject it.
The readers are those people we have relationships with. This includes members of our families, our co-workers, our friends, our romantic partners and even those who do not have our best interests at heart. But here is an important point: The readers can only read our book, they cannot change it. We as the authors are the only ones who can write our own story.
May Christian singles everywhere have the spiritual common-sense to follow the counsel of our Divine Editor and may the story we write develop into A GOOD BOOK.

Good Book!
Mr. Writer,
Wow! You are so anointed and blessed in your singleness thinking…You always amuse and amaze me with your thoughts...
As for me I think I would have a few unfinished chapters; but I am getting to the point that I am able to write those chapters and allow the Editor to do His will.
Those unfinished chapters have to do with the chapter of aging and the chapter of still being single but now I am starting to appreciate and celebrate the way life has aged me to perfection and refined me both physically and spiritually.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understand, will guard your heard and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6, 7)
Each day I am able to be thank God in all things and I know all that God made is good… I glad no one can read, write, add, or delete any part of my book but the one I adore and I know He has my very best interest at heart.
~Almost Finished...
