>Dedicated to Christian singles:
>
>Girl of God, as I watched you tonight, I wished for an opportunity to talk
>
>with you.
>I watched your beautiful face as you sang and worshipped.
>You reminded me of myself seven years ago. And then, after church, I
>watched
>you as you got into that car with a boy who does not know God.
>Oh, yes he was at Church tonight. He even went to the altar and shed a few
>
>tears.
>I am sure that you would not accept the idea that, for him, this is just a
>
>means to an end.
>
>Seven years ago I was in your shoes. I had known God since my early teens
>and had grown up under God-anointed preaching and teaching. I didn't lack
>boy friends or dates, as is so often the case in churches where the girls
>outnumber the boys.
>
>Some very wonderful, consecrated young men came my
>way but Satan, who watches diligently and waits patiently to ensnare a
>soul, saw me one day as I was lukewarm. Oh, I was still going to
>Church and playing my accordion and singing and doing all the right things
>
>outwardly. But I had never really had that special moment with God when
>His will and mine were made one.
>
>I met the young man at work. And before long, without anyone else's
>knowing it, I felt I couldn't live without him. He knew about my Church
>and when he attended with me, he went to the altar and cried and so I
>married him, while my family and those who loved
>me wept and agonized.
>
>It was just six months later that I realized my soul was in danger and
>that I had to have a touch from God. I prayed through and got a grip on
>God. Then the battle began. No, he wasn't going to Church anymore. I could
>count on my fingers the number of times he went
>during the last seven years!
>
>Before I married him, the thought of living without him was unbearable.
>"How lonely it would be!" I thought. But now I know what loneliness really
>is, and I'd like to tell you about
>it.
>
>Loneliness is receiving a blessing from God and going home to a man
>you can't share it with. He isn't interested; he's watching television.
>
>Loneliness is going to a Church social alone and watching the young
>couples enjoy God's blessings together. You can go alone or stay home
>alone; he has other interests.
>
>Loneliness is feeling the urgency of Christ's coming and knowing that the
>one you love most on this earth is not ready, and shows no sign of caring.
>
>Loneliness is seeing two children born and knowing that if your influence
>is to outweigh his, it
>will be a miracle.
>
>Loneliness is going to a General Conference and seeing young couples
>everywhere who are truly one and dedicated to God's work and there goes
>the young man who loved you once and wanted to marry you. He's preaching
>the gospel now and he has never married. Oh God!Help me! I mustn't think
>of it!
>
>Loneliness is lying awake struggling with the suspicion that he's
>unfaithful. Then comes the unbelievable pain of knowing for sure. He
>doesn't care if I know. She even calls me on the
>phone. After a time, he makes an effort to break it off. I vow to do
>everything humanly possible to keep this marriage together. I will love
>him more and pray for him more.
>
>Seven years of my life are involved in this! There's a little girl and a
>little boy!
>
>Loneliness is now. My children and I will go home to a dark, empty
>apartment that will be my home until the lawyer says it's all over. I, who
>have always been afraid to stay alone, now welcome the peace and solitude.
>
>As I look in the mirror; I see that seven years haven't changed my face so
>much but inside
>I am old, and something that was once alive and beautiful is now dead.
>
>Of course, this is not an unusual story. The remarkable thing about it is
>that I am still living for God. I am thankful for my family and their
>prayers of intercession for me.
>
>Oh, I am praying for you, girl of God! Please believe me when I tell you
>that no matter how wonderful he is, how loving, how tender--you cannot
>build a happy life upon disobedience to
>God's Word. You see, no matter what the future holds for me, I have missed
>His perfect will for my life.
>
>I will never stop paying for breaking a commandment of God! Don't let it
>happen to you!
