Hey everyone, this is for everyone since I guess most people here it can apply to several things in your life, but mainly it applies to the lonely unmarried and non dating people like myself who find this so called holiday difficult to bear.
And from the way things look in the world and in my own life right now, it's highly unlikely that I will be able to get married and have children. And it's something that greatly weighs me down when I think about it.
But thankfully I have come accross some great resources that make days like this go by much easier. The man who wrote this is a guy by the name of Grantley Morris, who is from Australia and to me, is by far, one of the most brilliant Christian scholars not only of this age but of all time.
And once you start reading his material I'm pretty sure you will agree with me. I've corresponded with him a few times about his work and he's one of the nicest and most helpful individuals you will ever meet. I consider him MY PERSONAL PSYCHIATRIST!
And before you ask, his stuff is throughly biblical and it lies up with scripture very very nicely. In fact this piece I'm about to post is based mainly off of Revelation 21:4, Matthew 20:16 and the Sermon on the Mount.
Now I'm not into the prosperity gospel by no means, nor do am I big about "calming" certain "promises" but in regards to the afterlife and compensation for my hard times such as with my love life or lack thereof, I certainly do claim this promise.
I love this piece so much I have it printed out laying under neath my bed and I take it out and read it when I need to. And so without anything further I give you, "No marriage in heaven? Encouragement for Singles" by Grantley Morris! GB guys!

No singles in heaven, only this
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Re: Hope for singles on Valentine's day
AMEN! And it couldn't come any sooner! I'll certainly try to be one of the first in that group for sure! Yeah, in this day and age lucifer, the "prince and power of the air" or the "god" of this world seems to control things for the most part, and therefore, this current age is a age of "hate" if you will, and this world is like a "land of hate" so to speak.
But when Yeshua returns and fixes all this mess, because He is the God of Love, He will turn the next age into "the ETERNAL age of Love" and will make the new heaven and earth the "land of Love". I can't wait, I can't wait to get to do things like this with my fellow believers.... , this , and just for the fun of it, this!
And because i'm a car guy I also hope I'll get to do this in the afterlife too But I'm not too finicky, just as long as I get to do this mainly and, well, maybe this I'll be very happy there.
