“Why Am I Still Single?” Let’s Talk About It: Don’t Make This Major Mistake | Wendy Griffith

[@Sunnyboy1973]

[@OLThomas-y9j]

Are u a women or a man your photo looks like a young girl . HAVE U prayed to GOD in earnest for a helpmate ? It is right to let God select the right one for u , but he/she needs to be single and no divorce from their mate that's still living ! But, everyone should pray to God when He judges us, He gives a lot of SLACK on this problem ! He does say He repents that He had to make man in the flesh, but it was either that or kill all his fallen kids in the first age ! The flesh age is where we are today , the 2nd Earth Age . Peter mentions the 3 earth ages , but there is more about in the Word . I think God might want u to write a book about your life if u are the real deal !

@@jameslinmd God blesses obedience, which is true, but a husband isn't guaranteed. It is a blessing to not have given yourself to a man who just wanted to take from you and then leave you.

[@mantleofelijah]

I didn’t marry until I was 46 and I am now happily married and God has blessed me with my own babies! The babies came naturally after menopause and after 50! God is so good! I had to drop my obsession with wanting a husband. I was bad at waiting and the pain would sometimes double me up. Learning to make Jesus my all and all, my focus and the lover of my soul… this was crucial. Then he gave me it all! God is faithful. I had relationships that didn’t work out… ‘Christian’ men who were narcissistic or who wanted sex before marriage. God won’t bless that. We have to wait and live our lives focussed upon him and he will bless that. First and foremost we have to deal with our rejection issues and let Jesus heal our soul wounds. Find peace… then an equally healed and whole man will be drawn to you. … or like me… then lead a great man to the Lord! He is now a strong man of God on fire for the Lord! This only happened because I was healed and whole, confident and uncompromising in my faith. Peace, wholeness and Jesus is an attractive package.

I am 44 and never married, no kids. I’ve always been content but starting to desire being married. All my siblings are married with kids and I’m the only girl in the family. At times I have felt that I’m weird or different but I know that is the enemy making me “feel” that way. Our society in America puts a lot of pressure on getting married and having a family (I so desire that now) but it’s not a must. Father may have other plans for singles so we have more time and less distractions for Him. Seek first the kingdom of God and ll these things will be fed onto you. After all, God is the one who gives us the desires of our heart. Bless you all and let’s all keep praying for each other ❤️.

[@enojelmeli]

"content but still contending". That's very relatable. I really appreciate it hearing her story.. seasoned singles often get told that XY and z needs to be in place before God will give them their spouse. Usually it's some advice about being content, healed, not desiring marriage and then it will happen. That advice is unhelpful Since those rules often didn't apply to those who were blessed to get married early in life. I love that there were people praying for her throughout her entire season of singleness. It can be a really rough lonely, journey and it helps to have people praying, encouraging and cheering us on along the way.

I have contentment if I never marry but also open and ready for His will and surprises. It really is possible to get to this point and I am proof of it. he has provided for me like a husband would both materially and emotionally. He has also opened the doors for me to be able to foster. I always wanted to do but never thought I could do a single person. He is so good!

Great Testimony. The most important thing she said was, if you are not a happy single and growing in your relationship God. You are not ready for marriage. Never never rush this process. Never look for another person to make you happy. (It’s a recipe for disaster) If you are not complete within yourself and God, you are not ready.

[@chemybamford9919]

ooooh "You are gonna miss your reward" that struck a cord with me😢coz I'm 53 and have been praying and believing the Lord for a Godly fulfilled marriage and there were those moments in silence when I thought I had missed it. I too was desperate to be loved and so I made a barrage of mistakes coz all my life since I was about 6 I was rejected, that was when that seed was sown. Went through life rejection after rejection and at one point idolizing marriage which I had to repent for. Today I am healed from my past, and I can confidently declare that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is so much more than enough. He is the gentleman I longed for. Should he see fit and allow one of his own to marry me, I will welcome it and rejoice in it, should he not, I will love him anyway, it is well with my soul.

Women tend to idolize marriage, especially Christian women. I'm speaking about myself too. Idolatry is a sin and one of the 10 Commandments. If it's God's will for you to be married, work on your relationship with the Godhead, fall in love with Them and work on yourself. God's faithful. Look at all of the times when He came through for you. It will happen. Don't loose your faith. Find your purpose while being single. A man or woman didn't die on the Cross for you, Jesus did!!! Ladies, I'm praying for and love you!!!

[@overcomingpodcastTV]

I agree there seems to be an idolatry but on the contrary. Can a comment like this move into over criticism? That emotional desire is normal and natural even more for women. The challenge is making sure people don’t allow their heart to venture into idolatry but it is okay and at times necessary for broadcast like this to create a healthy space of dialogue for people especially our sisters in Christ to talk about these things. Balance essentially

God asking you to be single (for a season or for life) is NOT always because you're not "ready" (broken, not good enough, worse than young marrieds) as said in this chat. God asked me to be single for a season so I could do MORE and DIFFERENT things for Him than I would do married. I have always been "ready" for marriage.

👆 This!!! I’m mid 40s, still a virgin, and I’ve long felt ready too, and I’ve always felt valued and loved! I had lots of guys to chose from and had a healthy upbringing. I also have always known I didn’t need a relationship to be happy even though I was a big romantic.

[@cantstandtheestablishment4004]

My wife and I married late (early 40s). In hindsight, we both agreed that one of the worst things Christians do, when it comes to a life partner, is "wait on the Lord". Look at what Abraham's servant said when he was looking for a wife for Isaac: "I, being in the way, the Lord led me." Gn 24:27 A parked car isn't going to go anywhere. We have to step out in faith and the Lord will guide us. Most people will not find a husband or wife if they don't put themselves out there, and do some dating.

I was single till I was 29 when I got married. For 9 of those years I pressed into God so hard that I got to have a deep connection with the Lord through the Holy Spirit. I wish I had known that the time I was praying for a mate that it would be my most treasured times I have ever had with the Lord. When ur married to someone who doesn’t love the Lord or walk as closely as you it moves you farther away. Along with the demands of marriage and being a parent, and for me providing for the family, it was to much a lot of the time. I have often missed the alone time deep in the presence of the Lord. I have experienced God since then but the last 15 years have been difficult. The Lord in his gracious love gave me the family I had longed for, even at the cost of less of a relationship with Him. I am so grateful and blessed with my children. Marriage has been hard, but I pray God will move in it and show me and the world why he brought us together, if not more than for the children.

I got married at 25. I had just become a Christian and was single. My Christian friends asked me if I prayed about it. I lied and told them yes I prayed, I really did pray, and God said no, don't marry her. It ended up being a horrible marriage that ended in divorce. I look back now and realize I should have listened to God and waited. Sex is not love, that's why God says wait and keep yourself clean. People confuse sex with pure spiritual, real love.

To be honest, our 20-something generation has been very hurt by technology, the social media boom & the pandemic/isolation period of their youth. Pray for them. I recently sat through college orientation with my youngest & watched all these weak, wimpy, lost-looking souls walk in. I thought - my 20-year-old-self wouldn't be attracted to any of these people! It is NOT uncommon for 20 & even 30-somethings to not have dated much, to not have ever been in a serious relationship, & to not have experienced any physical/romantic contact. This causes depression in many people because they feel like they're the problem. In reality, the past decade+ has been a nightmare for kids & this is why we're seeing an increase in anxiety, depression, negative behaviors.

When she said God said she wasn't ready it suggests that she was too 'flawed' for a marriage. None of us will ever be perfect so it is unfair for some of us to have to 'do the work' while others don't have that longwinded journey to marriage. There has to be another explanation. In my view marriage, life etc is not a right but we have those things only by the grace of God.

[@JB-pd3ir]

True!

[@4leafclover395]

Thank you for your comment. I agree. There has to be another reason. I also agree that we receive God’s blessings by His unmerited favor/grace. I want to seek the Lord further on this topic. I’m currently 53 never married but I would like to be. I have been content to be single until recently. Maybe it is a bit due to being lonely and fearful of growing older alone. I’m happy for Wendy but I’m not sure that this video sends the most hopeful message to everyone. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts 😊

[@mayebouee8099]

@@4leafclover395 Thank you for your response. I am seeking the Lord about this too as I agree that some of the messages about singleness do not provide much encouragement to those of us in later stages of life who are on this journey ❤️

[@simonebiggs7726]

Maybe it has more to do with waiting on God's best scenario. Truthfully, many of us could be married earlier if we go according to our own timeline.

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

@@simonebiggs7726 I agree about God’s best scenario! I don’t think it’s that we’re not ready. It’s God’s timing and His plan. He’s knows better than we do! I trust Him 💯%! ❤

Thank you for sharing all the parts you didn't want to share because it made me realize that I'm not the only one feeling those feelings. 😊

This was such an encouragement. God gives the desire and He will also be the one who provides. Thank for sharing

Too much interruption by Joni. 😖 But Wendy, soooooooooooo gorgeous!💓🎀

Right wn Joni said that about being content and then the right person will come, I tht of Dorothy - then Joni turns to Dorothy like that word was for her. You’re a great catch Dorothy! Love your hair - you look so pretty! Bless you!

[@wendiconrad6128]

I am 62 and am still waiting. I have prayed and prayed. Not quite sure what to do at this point.

[@DC-ry6fx]

I would say you're at the best time! A lot of women and couples in the Bible were older (60's) when they got married. Sarah was also 80 or 100 I believe when she gave birth to Isaac. So I personally believe that the best is yet to come, and that a good, bigger church could help a lot.

[@catongate]

Soon to be 62, never married either. Praying for a husband.

[@irenemoore2356]

Surrender it completely to God

Jesus is not the name of the Son. The name of YAHUWAH is the greatest name of all! - and the name of His Son YAHUWSHUWA who came in His Father's name. John 5:43, Proverbs 30:4 (King James Version).

Thank you so much for this encouraging reminder that I haven’t missed it and God’ best, is worth the wait!!!

[@cathystewart1670]

God knows best for sure. You can be married and still be crying out to God. You can rush into marriage and find out you married the wrong person cause we go on our own emotions.

[@berealrb1496]

Lust too.

[@Sally01d]

So true I experienced this years ago 😢

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

Sooo true!! I could have married men that were considered a real catch, but I didn’t have a peace about them. Better to be single than in an unhappy marriage. I’m mid 40s and never married.

😂😂😂 sooooo relate with you about Hallmark movies, I have not gone as far as a script though😂. Thank you Joni, great testimony and very encouraging @59. I agree waiting isn't a punishment but a process of purification in readiness for God's right gift. Greetings from Zambia 🇿🇲 and still waiting ❤

God timing as I’m watching this after it came up on my TL after my quiet time this am. During my quiet time I felt I led to rebuke a spirit of unworthiness since childhood which made me feel ashamed and hurt over feeling unworthy of marriage, and always being second or least best! Clearly God is confirming that He’s healing my brokenness …I’m 65yrs and never married because I felt so unworthy of anyone. I e never had a best friend either. God understands and cares 🙏✝️🌈💝

Great story, God bless you all

Married at 21 and he was 100% my List of what I wanted in a husband that I started to write at age 16. Met April 8th, married April 7th after 365 days. We were both virgins, he was 25. Both Christian’s. Marriage lasted 15 yrs. No kids, one miscarriage. Life happens y’all. It is what it is. Enjoy The Journey!! 🎉

[@beckyc3127]

It’s rather misleading to say that after a person comes to the point of contentment here or she will find a spouse. That doesn’t always happen. That would be like saying once a couple becomes content without having a child, the wife will all of a sudden get pregnant. It’s not a guarantee.

[@ceeare12345]

The moment I heard her say 53 my stomach dropped and I felt rage. I’d genuinely rather die than wait until 53

[@beckyc3127]

Why? Singleness is NOT a fate worse than death! Not even close.

54 single no children alone sometimes it's hard to understand but I know God has someone wonderful for me, listen to the Holy Spirit always Thank you Lord Father for seeing our hearts loneliness help us trust yourself timing Father in Jesus Name HALLELUJAH 🙌🏻

[@elizabethperry5012]

I would have to agree with this. I mean death is pretty extreme thing to say but singleness with no children is a pretty bad place to be in in your 50s esp when you have no extended family either. Walk through it yourself and you will know why this statement was made.

[@beckyc3127]

@@elizabethperry5012 um, I’m 51 and have never been married and don’t have children. I have extended family, but only one nephew and no nieces. My siblings are eight and six years older than me. I have no idea who’s going to take care of me when I’m older. Even with all that said, I still don’t think that singleness is a fate worse than death.
