<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"> This sermon was suggested to me by a friend. I will be honest I was eager to listen but I was slightly afraid of what I might hear...</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">Such as "Wait for that husband or wife" "Trust God to bring them when it's time" wait....wait...WAIT! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">And that's all good yes, we should wait and be patient! But what about in the meantime? For a single person the focus shouldn't be marriage or finding someone it should be Christ. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"> As for me marriage and children is all I have ever truly and consistently wanted since I was 11-12 years olds. Even as recent as a year ago I could hardly form the word "Single" in my head! I didn't want to hear it. It was the most scary word in existence to me. The thought of being alone was terrifying (which I know I wouldn't be because my father promised that I can live with him till I am 70 so no worries there) but still it's not quite the same as having your very own family, helping build a dynasty, forming the next generation. (so I thought...)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"> I found myself discontent waiting on what seemed to be a future good when CHRIST is my future good! It is time for change of heart, a RIGHT prospective! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">So, to sit here and say I am "jubilant" about singleness is and act of God and He used this sermon to bring so much peace and purpose in being single that it brings tears to my eyes! Are there a few place in the sermon that make you chaff in you seat? Yes, a little but hang in there! It's not what you think! It's a glorious revelation! SINGLENESS IS NOT A CURSE! Did you know that??? I didn't until this sermon! </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">"....</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband." </b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1Cor 7:34</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">Marriage is not bad nor should we frown on it, but I now see singleness as if God is saying to me "I want you for myself (either forever or until He says you will better serve Me and my Kingdom with this young man than by yourself.) It doesn't change the fact that it IS still a desire but it's not my focus! The Kingdom and how I can better serve my Savior is my focus! I speak with young girls often on this topic and it scary to see that finding a husband is almost (if not more) important than God! Though the was me a few years ago! <b>IT'S WORSHIP BROTHERS AND SISTERS!</b> And we have been wrong, very wrong! We are robbing God of His glory and giving it to a HUMAN an unperfected, unreliable, selfish being who controls nothing. I say this in love! We are the next generation whether we marry or not as it is stated in this sermon if our focus is Christ will have a heritage and a heritage of those who God allowed to be touch by our lives! It's not the end! I promise its the beginning of a glorious end, an end that will result in an eternity of glorious worship to our Heavenly Father! Satisfaction beyond anything we can comprehend! </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">I don't know about you but I am excited! I pray you will be too and not only in singleness but get out there. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">Being single for God's glory and if you marry be married for the glory of God!</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">Ok so the sermon you have read this novel to get to:</span><br /><a href="http://pseudo01.hddn.com/vod/brookhills.agroup/audio/51.mp3" style="color: #ae88de; text-decoration: none;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://pseudo01.hddn.com/vod/brookhills.agroup/audio/51.mp3</span></b></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners’ gain;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee and flee before Thy glance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How art thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How doth Thy visage languish that once was bright as morn!</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now from Thy cheeks has vanished their color once so fair;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From Thy red lips is banished the splendor that was there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grim death, with cruel rigor, hath robbed Thee of Thy life;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor, Thy strength in this sad strife.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My burden in Thy Passion, Lord, Thou hast borne for me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For it was my transgression which brought this woe on Thee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cast me down before Thee, wrath were my rightful lot;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have mercy, I implore Thee; Redeemer, spurn me not!</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Shepherd, now receive me; my Guardian, own me Thine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great blessings Thou didst give me, O source of gifts divine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thy lips have often fed me with words of truth and love;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thy Spirit oft hath led me to heavenly joys above.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I will stand beside Thee, from Thee I will not part;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O Savior, do not chide me! When breaks Thy loving heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When soul and body languish in death’s cold, cruel grasp,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, in Thy deepest anguish, Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The joy can never be spoken, above all joys beside,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O Lord of Life, desiring Thy glory now to see,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beside Thy cross expiring, I’d breathe my soul to Thee.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Savior, be Thou near me when death is at my door;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then let Thy presence cheer me, forsake me nevermore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When soul and body languish, oh, leave me not alone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But take away mine anguish by virtue of Thine own!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Be Thou my consolation, my shield when I must die;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remind me of Thy passion when my last hour draws nigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, upon Thy cross shall dwell,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart by faith enfolds Thee. Who dieth thus dies well.</div>

ADORE AND TREMBLE, FOR OUR GOD</h1>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Isaac Watts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adore and tremble, for our God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is a consuming fire!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His jealous eyes His wrath inflame,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And raise His vengeance higher.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almighty vengeance, how it burns!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How bright His fury glows!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vast magazines of plagues and storms</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lie treasured for his foes.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those heaps of wrath, by slow degrees,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are forced into a flame;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But kindled, oh! how fierce they blaze!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And rend all nature’s frame.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At His approach the mountains flee,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And seek a watery grave:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The frighted sea makes haste away,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And shrinks up every wave.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through the wide air the mighty rocks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are swift as hailstones hurled;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who dares engage His fiery rage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That shakes the solid world?</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet, mighty God, Thy sovereign grace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sits regent on the throne;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The refuge of Thy chosen race</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When wrath comes rushing down.</div>
<br /><div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: serif; font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thy hand shall on rebellious kings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fiery tempest pour,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we beneath Thy sheltering wings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thy just revenge adore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
