At times it envelops me, even
When I'm in a crowd, especially
When I'm surrounded by couples.
I feel like an outsider.
When I grapple with my singleness and
Long for companionship, it helps to
Remember that marriage isn't a
Panacea and loved ones die.
Either abruptly or slowly, all my
Relationships will end.
I can't depend on them.
It helps to remember that God will
Never leave me or forsake me.
I CAN depend on Him.
And it helps to remember that not
One of us has all our longings met,
Not yet.
