believing that singleness is a gift and not a disease and that God can use this time in our lives to serve him and being completely devoted to Jesus, our Beloved
a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit.1 Cor 7:34 (nlt)
I want you to live as free of complications as possible. When you're unmarried, you're free to concentrate on simply pleasing the Master. Marriage involves you in all the nuts and bolts of domestic life and in wanting to please your spouse, leading to so many more demands on your attention. The time and energy that married people spend on caring for and nurturing each other, the unmarried can spend in becoming whole and holy instruments of God. I'm trying to be helpful and make it as easy as possible for you, not make things harder. All I want is for you to be able to develop a way of life in which you can spend plenty of time together with the Master without a lot of distractions. 1 Cor 7:32-35 (The Message)
