Utilize your singlehood,

You can never go back to it again.

This is a unique window of time where your heart, mind and energy are undivided.

You have the freedom to build, to grow, to dream boldly.

It’s a season to pursue God with reckless abandon.

Many have wasted this season longing for the next, not realizing that what they fail to cultivate now will be painfully missed later.

Marriage is beautiful but it comes with responsibilities, sacrifices and distractions that will require a different version of you.

But now, in your singlehood, you have the space to pour into yourself.

To discover your purpose, deepen your convictions, master self-discipline and serve God without restraint.

This is the time to build a stronger spiritual foundation and confront your weaknesses without the added weight of being responsible for someone else’s emotions.

This is also the time to establish sexual purity not just by saying no to s£x, but by saying yes to holy living.

It’s your chance to train your eyes, your thoughts, your conversations and even your friendships.

To set standards, build healthy boundaries and confront the lies culture feeds about love.

Don’t despise your single season.

This is not the time to jump from one fornication bed to another and tag it flex.

There is no flex in having multiple body counts and packing HIV.

Use now to grow so whole and rooted in Christ that when the time for marriage comes,

You’re not entering it out of desperation or fantasy, but from a place of strength and purpose.

You will never have this version of freedom again,

Maximize it and let it prepare you for the future you desire.
