On Dating & Relationships

If you cannot be contented in singleness, you will not be contented in marriage. Singleness is not something that keeps us from contentment and joy. Rather, it is a trying circumstance in which we are to look in faith to God, submitting in His good and sovereign will, and looking to him for every blessing. But singleness is not the only such trying circumstance. Another is called marriage, as two sinners seek to live in harmony without killing each other.

Phil. $:12-13 " I know how to be brouhgt low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abudance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Contentment only comes from God, and the sooner we start seeking it in Him, the better off we will be. A quote from Martyn Lloyd Jones:

"Man's happiness was never meant to be determined by his circumstances, and that is the fatal blunder that we all tend to make... Man's happiness depends on one thing only --- and that is his relationship to God! ... We cannot get it anywhere else. We must come back to the soul and to God who made it. We were made for him, we are meant for him , we have a correspondence with him, and we will never come to rest until, like that needle on the compass, we strike that northern point, and there we come to rest --- nowhere else."
