Devotionals
Are you living a single life in a couples’ world? Do you feel like you are missing out on all that life has to offer? If one is the loneliest number you might want to do some addition.

As believers we believe our marriage is a gift of God. It is; but a single life is also His gift to many others. Cherish His gifts and use them wisely.
