Each One's Gifts...
The apostle Paul was unmarried at the time he traveled as a missionary.
Was this because he opposed marriage ? Hardly. The apostle Paul was single because he chose to remain unmarried for " the sake of the good news. " { 1 Corinthians 7:7, 9:23 }
Paul had the power to refrain from marriage, yet he recognized that not everyone can be like him. He said; " Each one has his own gift from God,one in this way, another in that way. " { 1 Corinthians 7:7 }
Singleness can become a road to happiness, even though it may not be the one you had intended to travel.
Certainly, marriage is included among the many gifts recieved from Jehovah.
But the Bible indicates that singleness can also be a "gift "-- if you can make room for it. " { Matthew 19:11, 12 } { 1 Corinthians 7:36-39 }
What then are some benefits of singleness ?
