Flying Solo: A Season to Soar
Pursuing joy, growth, and divine purpose in singleness
‘But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;’ (1 Corinthians 7:32, NASB2020)
Lately, I’ve noticed a growing recognition of singleness as a gift — at least on my social media feeds — and it’s refreshing to see this perspective gaining traction. I’ve been fortunate to avoid spaces where marriage is excessively glorified or treated as a measure of worth.
That said, I do recall a time when I was anxious, worrying that if I didn’t stay hyper-vigilant, I might somehow miss “the one” God had planned for me. Over the years, I’ve understood that God’s guidance is unmistakable. He speaks with clarity to those who listen. “His sheep hear His voice.” I see now that I had no reason to fret.
Singleness is a unique and precious season, offering opportunities that may not be as readily available in other phases of life. It is a time to cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself, to refine your character, and to draw closer to God in a way that is both intentional and undistracted. Without the commitments and responsibilities that come with a spouse or family, you have the freedom to explore your faith, seek God’s purpose for your life, and build a strong foundation for the future.
This season is not a waiting room or a liminal space between milestones — it is a time of growth, exploration, and purpose. It’s a chance to discover passions, develop talents, and serve others in ways that align with God’s plan for you. In this phase, your attention can be fully devoted to understanding His will, studying His word, and walking in obedience.
Far from being a waste, singleness is a gift that allows you to sow seeds that will yield a rich harvest later. It is a time to build spiritual resilience, emotional maturity, and the kind of inner strength that equips you for the challenges and blessings of life, whether or not they include marriage.
When approached with gratitude and intentionality, singleness becomes a sacred opportunity to prepare for the fullness of the life God has designed for you. It’s a season of becoming — not lacking — filled with potential for joy, purpose, and transformation.
If you find yourself single today, I encourage you to embrace this period. Focus on your relationship with God and follow His lead without the additional responsibilities that come with caring for a spouse. The time and energy you invest in this season will bear fruit in ways you cannot yet imagine.
Cheers to walking faithfully in every season.
