Find out why waiting for love can be an act of faith. Rebecca Simon, author of Finding God Every Dayit shows trusting God’s timing in relationships and finding connections that feel stable, holy, and true. Continue reading below to see how patience and faith can direct your heart to the love you’ve been waiting for.
Stay single until love feels like the image of how God sees you — stable, chosen, and secure. Because at the end of the day, a good person won’t make you question your worth, they won’t make you wonder how much you are. They will love you in a way that feels like clarity, not confusion. They will honor your presence the way God does—intentionally, gently, and unconditionally.
Stay single until you feel spiritually safe. Until you don’t have to hide the way you talk to God or soften the way you listen to receive his guidance. Stay single until the relationship starts, until it’s an extension of your faith – not a place where you feel the need to compromise. Expect someone who not only respects your relationship with God, but who respects you in the way he loves you, in the way he shows himself.
Stay single until you pray together, so that God becomes the basis of your relationship, the reason for your bond. Wait for someone who knows that faith is not just what you believe – it’s how you treat each other when life is hard, when dark days come. Stay single until you hit your heart out on someone who sees spiritual intimacy as something sacred, something to be protected.
Stay single until the peace between you feels holy, not heavy. Until you can sit still and feel held – not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Stay single until the connection is not based on distraction or noise, but is based on something deeper, something rooted. Wait for someone who can hold you still and call you enough.
Stay single until you lose weight. Until your dreams are met with encouragement, not silence. Until your voice is fully accepted, and can be made to sound like it’s loud. Until your heart is seen as a gift, not a vulnerability to be managed. Wait for someone who realizes the weight of what God has placed inside of you – someone who doesn’t try to control it, but fights for it. Someone who does not compete with your strength, but protects it. Who sees your gentleness not as something to diminish, but as something sacred to honor.
Stay single until you feel known and comfortable. Until you no longer need to explain or defend the way your heart moves in this world. Until the relationship feels like a place where you can vent, where you can really be seen. Stay single until love feels like an answered prayer – not a lesson learned.
At the end of the day — stay single until love feels peaceful. Stay single until love feels clear, like guidance, like something sacred you don’t have to fight to keep. And when it comes, when it comes and meets you in truth, safety, and peace – you will understand. You will see that God never withholds something special from you, he was protecting you. All closed doors were gracefully closed. Every unanswered prayer was divine redirection. Because this – this was always the kind of love you should expect. This was always the kind of love you hoped he wrote for you.
