Here's Carolyn McCully on why singles should focus more on doing God's will than on finding a spouse.

We're not going to get to heaven and have the Lord look at us and say,

Great! You've finally flopped over the finish line of marriage! I'm so proud of you! It's going to be irrelevant.

What we're going to be commended for is whether or not we faithfully stewarded whatever he gave us.

That is why we're going to hear, well done, good and faithful servant.

It's Monday, June 25th, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Thank you. Here's Nancy.

If you ever find yourself as a woman who is unmarried and maybe a little bit older, thinking you would have been married by this time,

having some conflicting emotions inside, maybe wondering, does God really know what he's doing?

Is he really in control? Can I trust him with my desires? Has God forgotten me?

Things you probably wouldn't say out loud, but maybe you've wondered from time to time.

Well, our guest this week has wrestled with some of those questions, and she shares real honestly out of her own journey and of what God has been teaching her.

Her name is Carolyn McCulley. Carolyn, welcome back to revive our hearts.

Thank you. And you've written a terrific book called Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye?

And the subtitle, which is so important, and we want to talk about that today, trusting God with a

hope deferred. Our single listeners are going to be very blessed by this discussion this week.

But as I read this book, I thought, you know, this isn't a book just for singles. There's a lot of

wisdom in here for women, whether married or single, because God's ways and God's truth apply

across the board to the issues of our hearts. We all have to learn to trust God when hope is

deferred. And you've given so many fabulous insights into how to do that, some fresh ways of looking

at the will and the heart of God.

We're going to get into that this week and talk about the issue of singleness, how to trust God
