Where are the hymns? Remember good old fashion church music.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; Create

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today will often be forgotten; Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Are you single and want to mingle? If so, what qualities are you looking for in a man or woman? Only serious Christian Singles need respond. Post your picture and profile (20 words or less)

 

3 REASONS GOD MAY WANTS YOU SINGLE:

1) The person that He has for you is not ready. It would be a travesty to be with the right person at the wrong time. God needs to continue to shape and prepare one for marriage.

2) You have not have fulfilled your gifts, talents and ministry as a single adult. There are some things you can only do in a single state. Mary would not have been chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus had she been married.

3) You are not ready. There is more forming, shaping, pulling and stretching you must go through before you are ready for a mate.
