"Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living." ~ Jim Elliot

I want to learn how to wait for God's good things. I only can live one day at a time. My restlessness for tomorrow can make waiting for that day to come an impossible task. Life goes by fast enough without my wishing it away.

This is a season and seasons pass. God has put me here, so I want to make the most of it while I am in it, by His grace. My desire is to redeem the time that I have and devote all of myself to Jesus.

I want to grow in thankfulness. I want to treasure this season. Let my loneliness only lead me to the cross and not to self-pity. All my trials are working wonderful Christ-like qualities into me. I don't want to hinder His work. I want to accept life's hardships, not reject them. They are from God. I have a choice to see my circumstances redemptively. Therefore, I want to. By doing so, I hope to glorify God instead of crying over my own desires.

This is a unique time that I have for undistracted devotion to the Lord. This is a time to feed myself with heavenly things. This is a time to eat of food that doesn't perish. This is a time to fix my eyes on Jesus. This season is a gift not to be mourned over.

By God's grace, I will delight in these times and cherish these days. I may not be single forever.
