In a very self-centered world, empathy is a quality that is getting lost. Yet Jesus taught us many times to take this attitude. And for someone single, practicing empathy now can ensure the success of a future marriage.

We sometimes consider a Christian to be strong and victorious if they do not seem to be living any suffering, if everything seems easy to them, or if they are supplied with material goods. But is that a good way to look at it?

Before eternity, there are only two positions: born again or spiritually dead. Once saved, we are all equal in the sight of God. There are no levels between Christians. We are all loved equally, and we all have the same responsibilities.

We wouldn’t want people to be able to read our minds. It would feel like a terrible invasion of our privacy! Still, some singles don’t dare to disclose their feelings. “He should have known without me having to tell him!” Contradictory?

We may feel that our prayers are not being heard when they are not answered the way we want them to be. Especially when we are single and still have no one in sight!
