It is hard to still be single sometimes. My friends pair up. They date each other. They date others. Some have married.

There are moments where I wonder, “Is there anyone out there? Anyone who values me like that? Anyone who actually thinks I’m worth waiting for?” And I wonder: if I’ll ever find someone who meets my standards and desires, or if I’ll have to lower them. After all, who is really that good? Who really saves themselves for marriage? Who really doesn’t just give away a kiss like it’s candy? Who really has a heart for God and puts Him first? Who really has compassion for the broken? That’s just silly.

But then, there’s a corner, deep in the back of my heart. It believes that there is someone pure and wonderful. It believes that God is faithful to provide the desires of my heart when I put Him first. It believes I’m worth cherishing. That corner of my heart believes that perhaps, against all odds, maybe someone who I don’t even know is thinking the same thing. They are waiting for someone, too. And they’re waiting for me.

Perhaps you are in the same complex and perplexing situation. You wonder if there’s someone for you. If so, have you even met them yet? If there’s someone for you, what are they like?




I don’t know. Let’s find out together, shall we?
