Single Women of the Bible: Seeing God No Matter Your Relationship Status নমুনা

When we read scripture, sometimes we wonder: will what I read pertain to my life?

How could people a few thousand years ago relate to my daily struggle, especially when it comes to relational challenges or even the desire to find love?

In the Bible, we see the relational struggles that people have, both horizontally in their relationship with others as well as vertically in their relationship with God.

One thing is clear in scripture: relationships matter to God.

God desires to reconcile us in relationship with Himself, and in the process, He desires us to experience love in relationship on earth. Whether you are married, and struggle with feeling loved in your relationship or you’re single and desiring to find the partner God has for you, He cares about your situation, he knows the heartbreak you’ve been through.

Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Scholars believe that the broken-heartedness described here, is not the broken-heartedness that originates from sin, as we see elsewhere in Scripture, but the “broken heart” we experience from living in a fallen world, this includes in our relational lives. Hopefully, this truth can bring comfort to you if you feel to blame for your broken heart or feel that your past mistakes and failures make you unworthy of finding love. God reminds us when we fear that His “Perfect love casts out fear”- 1 John 4:18

May we take comfort in our longing for wholeness in relationship status, that God is near, and He will save.

As we will see throughout this study, the Lord is close to the experience of single woman and makes Himself known in mighty ways. No matter your relationship status, the Savior has come to redeem, restore & give you an abundant life! (John 10:10)
