Being Single as a Christian Girlie: Abstinence and Dating
January 13th, 2024 was the last time that I was intimate with a man hunni. Now at that exact time, I had not made the decision that, that would have been the last time, but God did, and He already knew the plan he had for me. About a week or two after this, I ended my relationship of about 3 years and made the decision to do things the right way, God’s way. 2026 marks two whole years that I have been abstinence. This journey has been so rewarding and at the same time very challenging. It has only been God’s grace and His mighty strength that had gotten me thus far. I made a commitment to Jesus and myself that the next man who gets to experience me in those ways would be my husband that He sends to me. God has been faithful and has helped me with my fleshly desires. He has and continues to be there in the midst of temptations and so graciously offers me a way of escape each time. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT says “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” Jesus kept this promise, if He will do it for me, He can also and is willing to do it for you. Being abstinence has shown me that I indeed have authority over my flesh and that my flesh has no control over me and that with God, I can overcome anything. It has made me stronger and has brought me closer to my heavenly Father. I encourage all who believes in the Almighty God, Daughters of the Most High King; my sisters in Christ especially to hold out until the Lord sends you your husband. It may seem impossible but please be reminded that nothing is impossible with Jesus on your side.
