Singles and worship - a paradise regained

There is a deep identification of singleness especially in the Christmas season for me and some other single people, maybe its the season or the fest or the love we see in families , we singles go back to our dad or mum and siblings to spend the time ; but some cannot, and some find this even incomplete, why?? We were made for relationship, for those married they even say that every good thing their partner could provide is still short of their ideal, maybe , just maybe we haven't found the right person for relationship. Today, I felt alone , longing for someone and then I realised that I already knew that person ... My singleness is for a season - a season I live with the ideal partner, God , and my lone moments of pain converted to greater moments of worship - worship an act of realising that God is all sufficient.

See grace in all

How you see God's grace Embalm your view of sin and God, if you see grace only as a sinners plea , you fail to see the cross, If you see grace only as God's wrath, You miss to see HIS love, So behold the grace in all it is, For Christ has paid it all. ---- By Subin Abraham Mathew ---- Many often people see grace as a means to cover their sin but fail to see that grace is justice in the form of a cross ; this is exactly what John Newton said "It was grace that taught my heart to fear - and grace my fears relieved (meaning he saw that grace was like a hammer on sin at the justice of God, and in the next line meaning that he saw grace to be an "soft cotton wool" cleaning his sins)
