Today there is so much cultural impatience with singleness that we can stand to put a weight on the other side of the scale. God's grace is more than sufficient to see us through our bouts of loneliness. However, you should feel no guilt for desiring companionship. Ask God to fill the emptiness you're feeling. His answer may not be what you expect, but it's always the best.
