Seeing everyone around you dating, getting engaged or married can be HARD, believe me I know! It's a journey of highs and lows, days of feeling good, and days of feeling discouraged. Over the past few years I've worked through feeling genuinely content in my singleness, realising I've been idolising marriage, working through past hurt and doubts in that area, and slowing growing and restoring my hope for marriage one day. Unfortunately, so many of us still feel that deep longing to be married. As the years go by and we get older, we see more people around us dating, getting engaged, getting married and having babies. It's not always easy to see and you can quickly start to lose hope.. but my friends, there is an abundant life in Christ that we can experience in the here and now. I hope you enjoy this video of unpacking some of my thoughts in this area, what I've gone through over the year or so with so many weddings in the calendar, and a few verses of scripture that help bring us back to the main focus; Jesus. Love you guys! 💌 CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 1:09 Desiring marriage & feeling left out 1:57 When people try to comfort you 3:05 Getting to the root of the issue 6:24 Living for today, instead of worrying about tomorrow 7:36 An abundant life in Jesus 8:27 The hole in our heart 9:37 Delighting in the Lord 12:04 Prayer 13:17 Final thoughts INSTAGRAM 📱 https://www.instagram.com/@hallelujahpodcast CONTACT ✉️ [email protected] PODCAST 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/hallelujah-podcast/id1654433035 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4cf18tdfgFRMU8jWjUxK1Y WEBSITE 🖥️ https://www.hallelujahpodcast.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks so much for tuning into the Hallelujah!
