To The Girl Who Doesn’t Feel Chosen

To The Girl Who Doesn’t Feel Chosen,
Today is Valentines Day and I know what you might be feeling… the Absence of a significant other that feels like a companion in and of itself. Maybe you woke up not remembering the date and social media feeds of couples quickly reminded you… or maybe you woke up with the date ringing as loudly as a siren in your head. I know the feeling all too well. This is my 26th single Valentines Day. I know the emotional roller coaster that this day brings; I have memorized every twist and turn, every high and low. Even as I write this, those feelings come rushing back.
I don’t want to tell you to get content with your singleness. I also don’t want to tell you that you need to set your hope on a Valentines Day where your husband celebrates your fairytale love perfectly and meets every expectation that you’ve got.
Today, I simply want to tell you this:
You are chosen.
You are wanted.
You are dearly loved for who you are- quirks and all.
You are not less than and you are not too much.
I promise you that it’s the truth. I know how not true it can feel… but Jesus’ words over you are far truer than anything in this world could ever be.
Take time today and ask Jesus what He thinks of you (listening to His voice and His alone). Ask Him what it means to be His Bride.
And… As you look to your own someday wedding day… remember that He’s waiting for His, too. He understands the waiting.
