In a world that worships romantic relationships, it’s easy to feel like you’re less because you don’t have one. For most of my life, I went from relationship to relationship believing this. Insert some plot twists, a season of singleness that lasted longer than anticipated, and I realized that maybe romantic relationships aren’t the ultimate worth definer. Perhaps our worth isn’t found in a love we feel the need to earn, but a Heavenly love that has always pursued us first.

So, what’s different about this book? This author’s season of singleness never changed in the course of its writing. If you’re anything like me, you’d rather throw up than read a relationship book written in hindsight by someone from the comfort of their blissful marriage. While those messages have their place, the people I found the most comfort in during my singleness were also experiencing it. My prayer is that this book can be that friend for you. All of these devotionals are written to the discouragement I experienced in this chapter, coupled with the Scripture-led realizations I eventually came to.

I believe there is purpose behind our single season, and it’s possible to find fulfillment in this time while being hopeful it will end one day. So, to the girl trying to rush through this chapter of her life, remember there is treasure here. May we fix our eyes on the One who will help us find it together.
