Yes to You

We’re in a singles class at the training right now and it’s very insightful and helpful.  I know that my identity is not wrapped up in marriage, or even singleness.  I am complete in Christ.  I am whole- NOW.  Even if I get married, that is not a guarantee against being alone for life.  Married people can become single this afternoon.  So I want to be content in Him.  God has made us in such a way that we can never be fully satisfied in anything but Himself.  So I surrender my desires and needs to Him.


Jesus, if this is Your will,
then YES to being single.
In my deepest heart, i want to marry,
to belong to a great man;
to know that i am linked to his life . . .
and he to mine . . .
following Christ and our dreams together . . .
but You know what i need.
if i never marry, it is YES to You.

-Ann Kiemel Anderson
