Isaiah 54:5 says, “For your Maker is your husband—the LORD Almighty is His name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.”
The Lord God hears me when I call. He backs me up, He heals me, and He redeemed me with His blood. I am already in love — can you not see it?
As Solomon would say, “He is altogether lovely” and the fairest to my soul. (Song of Solomon 5:10–16) He calms my storms, so I ask: what do you mean you feel sorry for Christian single women? Didn’t you already know we are married to Jesus?
I sit here preaching, trying to convert souls. Why? Because of what Isaiah 54:1 says:
“Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD.
The child born to a Christian woman is not just a physical child, but also one born in the Spirit — a converted soul, born again, as Jesus would say. (John 3:3–6) Born of a new spirit.
So if you cannot love a God you cannot see, how can you truly love another?
1 John 4:20 says:
“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
That is why the commandment says to love God first before loving your neighbour. (Matthew 22:37–39) How can I love you with my fickle kind of love if I do not first love a God I cannot see?
It is from Him that love flows. It is from Him that love learns patience, mercy, sacrifice, and truth. Without God, love becomes unstable because human emotions change like the wind. But the love of God teaches us how to love people rightly.
So no, I am not empty because I am unmarried. I am already loved. I am already known. I am already chosen. I am already in love with Jesus. See the defense around me, the rock of ages, the chariots of fire, the army of soldiers. 2 Kings 6:17-20 ” Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
Psalm 18:1, January (1): 18
Even if you leave, he will send me another helper. As I end with this: Song of Solomon 2:7
“Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.” Song of Solomon 3:5
“Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.” Song of Solomon 8:4
“Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”
