Save your oil

"You need a man", "lemme hook you up", girl if you dress like that more often you'd catch him". Seems like as soon as I became single these were the first statements I heard. My question is what's wrong with just being with myself?

Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with being in a relationship but there is something wrong if that's the only thing you're in. I know some ladies who have made their new relationships the end all to be all. The new Bae (I hate that word by the way lol) is there everything. They forget about their friends, jobs, children, God and themselves. And if someone else is not in a relationship, you're either jealous, mad, want their man or miserable. But why do you have to be in a relationship to be happy?  Why does that have to define you? 

The problem with a lot of young women is that they want the wedding more than the marriage and a half of man is better than no man at all. I used to be guilty of this but no more. See I have learned that in order to love someone else I need to love me first. In order for someone to become a part of my life they can't take over my life. 

So while I may be alone I'm not lonely and  while I may be without an earthly man, I have a Godly man that loves me more than myself, accepts me for myself, celebrates me for myself and most importantly will not allow me to compromise myself. So I will save my gifts, my "oil" because I know God is going to send me someone in His time and I don't want to waste myself on someone who is not worthy of me. 

The groom was late arriving, and the girls became drowsy and fell asleep. Then in the middle of the night someone shouted, “Here’s the groom! Come to meet him!”When the girls got up and started getting their lamps ready, the foolish ones said to the others, “Let us have some of your oil! Our lamps are going out.”The girls who were wise answered, “There’s not enough oil for all of us! Go and buy some for yourselves.”10 While the foolish girls were on their way to get some oil, the groom arrived. The girls who were ready went into the wedding, and the doors were closed."  Matthew 25
