The Gift of Singleness

                             The Gift of Singleness

Not everyone gets married. And not all married couples choose to have children. Jesus was single. And he spoke of singleness as a gift when it is “on account of the kingdom of the heavens.” (Matthew 19:11,12) The apostle Paul also chose not to get married. He spoke of both the single and the married state as ‘gifts.’ (1 Corinthians 7:7,8; 25-28) Hence, while this book has for the most part discussed matters having to do with marriage and the raising of children, we should not lose sight of the potential blessings and rewards of remaining single or of being married but childless
