Alone and Unmarried

God gave me a dream one night, this dream was more of a vision. In this vivid dream I was rather panicked, everyone I knew was getting married, everyone but me that is. The men in this dream were all dressed in black tuxedos, the ladies were dressed in beautiful dresses, not all of those dresses were pure white... symbolic? maybe. So here I was with no one to call my own. A bit sad, I was compelled to look up. A bright, gentle light was located right above my head, its warmth reached out and embraced me. Observing the light, I told the married couples that I was married to God. Some of these couples seemed to admire me greatly. God loves and takes care of me, yet I often take that special love for granted. I know it's hard to be a single person during this day and age, but just look at all the work that needs to be done! The love of God is joyfully being placed above all else and all others in my life. My eternal reward is truly with me.

Thanks Alexis - I don't know how to be married to anyone else but our Lord - although it is hard being single in this day and age - it is also a blessing which allows much freedom to become all we are meant to be to God- the ones who are married and are enjoying themselves and really love each other are also truly blessed! Thanks again for your encouragement Alexis!!
