This poem was posted by a friend in another group. It was posted to inspire women, to instill in them that HE will send him to you when HE deems you are ready. Do not despair of being single, for as long as you have HIM in your life you are never alone.
Unfortunately, some of the members in the group saw this poem as a warrior cry for women. They did not read nor hear the beauty in this piece. Instead of sparking positive accolades, it spurned a week long debate on what it takes to be A GOOD WOMAN. The debate in the group still rages on, as the genders try to make one another understand what it is they want, need, and desire in a mate!
What makes a good PERSON, man or woman, is not their outer beauty, but the content of their character! The question is can WE recognize the good person when they enter our lives for that season?
I'm Single and That's Alright ...author unknown
I'm single and that's all right with me
See, it's not that I oppose relationships
It's that I detest co-dependency
As a woman I know it is not my role
To chase after any man
> > Esther 2:14> > reads
That I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me.
He will call me by my name.
My Lord does not intend for me to be needy or desperate.
I am to be Cherished, Relished, Valued, and Honored,
It's not my job to convince him Nor Convict him of that,
My mate will already know it
And consistently show it
And he will stay on his knees daily
Not just to adore me
But to praise the Lord for
The virtuous woman he has found
So, when you see me by myself
I'm not alone
I know what I have coming to me
I'm single and saved, and right now that's all I need to be!
