Isaiah 44:21 “you will never be forgotten by Me” |

There are many folks today, who are the forgotten few as regards being single. It seems that we don’t have that “instant appeal” as regards looks. At school I was usually the near last to be picked for sports, and when I went to dances no one ever picked me I was the one who had to almost beg someone to dance with me! But what encourages me is that the Forgotten or seemingly less blest few always turn out to be the very blest in Gods eyes. You see Abraham, Elizabeth, Hannah, Joseph, and others were the forgotten few. Everyone else was having their prayers answered and God seemed to really care about them, and answered prayers at a drop of a hat. But these folks prayed with deep crying and tears may be for years, through so much sorrow and trial. Isaac to, well he had to wait till he was 40 before his dad decided to get a move on and arrange a wife for him. How he must have felt one the forgotten few. But the point I am getting at is that the seemingly forgotten few always become the mightily blest few, why? Coz there waiting caused suffering, suffering produced prayer, prayer moulded their character and God used them in a greater way than there neighbours who had there needs met far earlier. Good looking men and woman stand a far greater chance humanly of finding a spouse very early on, but to find a man or woman of character will not be so easily found. I once though I needed to find someone attractive but now I see their character as a far greater and important issue. |
