How to leverage your singleness to glorify God.
Singleness is a gift given to us by God. But like any gift, it's our choice whether we open the gift and use it. We can let it sit there under the tree and sit and sulk or we can open the gift and use it for the purpose that it was intended to. I know what you’re thinking, “How in the world do you view singleness as a gift?”

10 Ways to Leverage your Singleness to glorify God:
1. Seek Jesus above all else (Matthew 6:33)
2. Root your Identity in Christ (Ephesians 1:18-19)
3. Serve the mission (Acts 20:24)
4. Pursue your passions (1 Corinthians 10:11)

Only our relationship with God is perfect. So for as long as you can, stay single and pursue God. It's one of God's greatest gifts to us, yet so often we throw it away, and waste it and I believe that breaks God's heart. I can hear him looking down and saying to each one of you... “Daughter, because you are my prized possession and so precious and valuable to me, I want to give this gift that will be a blessing to your life, please receive it.”
