God’s favor has nothing to do with His blessings. They are two very different things. When we finally understand what God’s favor is, we experience true comfort, and our trials become easier to bear.

Perhaps you see your celibacy as a time of waiting. But what if it was one of your strengths to transform the world? Don’t underestimate your impact, even when your actions go unnoticed. The Kingdom is built in the shadows as well.

That is a slogan we sometimes hear, especially in Christian circles. When we take the time to reflect on this phrase, we realize that it is indeed a pearl of wisdom to apply in all areas of our lives, especially in the search for a partner.

The expression “I have a word from the Lord for you” is sometimes heard in our Christian circles. Some single women have even heard, “God told me you would be my wife.” Beware! You must be very careful before receiving such a message.
