Does God have someone for me? It’s a question everyone wonders at some point or another, especially in a culture that suggests romantic relationships are the norm. Join Elisa and Eryn as they dive deep into their struggles with loneliness and healing after relationship loss, as well as discuss a unique and important twist on this popular question.

Notes and Quotes: 

  • “I don’t see myself the way God sees me. I was seeing myself through the lens of the person I was dating.” 
  • We are made for relationships and connection.
  • “I think what I am learning in this whole journey of being single after being married is that I just desire to become the person I am meant to be.”
  • “I was seeking relationships to fill voids that only God could fill.”
  • “When you are single, there is so much work to be done because our identities have been formed in relationship to others.”
  • “Relationships define so much around us.”
  • “I think God has a lot of people for us. I think marriage is one thing, and it is an important thing. But I also think the reality is we are humans, and our relationships that can be fully satisfying can function a little bit like an island of intimacy.” 
  • “Until we let God love us, we can’t love ourselves. And until we love ourselves, we can not love another.”
  • We ask the question if God has anyone for us. Well, He has Himself for us. And yes, He invites us into relationships.
  • In seasons of singleness, we have time to show up and be present for the loved ones we have around us. Be careful not to overlook that. 
  • “Flip the question and instead of asking if God has anyone for us, ask ‘Can I be someone for God?’”
