— Hebrews 13:20-21

Connecting to God

I realized through SOLO and this conference, that I was apart of a much larger picture. My life had a purpose. I had been missing this. I had been so disconnected. Everyone needs to be connected, apart of and included. Everyone needs to know who their family is … their roots. Everyone needs to be connected to God. Like my experience with my grandmother, I understood how important it was to know my Polish roots, however, my spiritual roots were that much more important.

Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love

— Ephesians 4:15-16

We, as single adults, have to stay connected. We have to make the time to find common ground with each other. We have to make the time to care. We have to make the time to reach out and help each other grow in our relationships with Christ. We have to make the time to disciple each other. Thank you to SOLO and the many single adults who saw something in me that only the Savior could have put in their hearts. They took a chance on a very self-focused person by encouraging me, believing and ultimately loving me.

When I am with the Gentiles who do not have the Jewish law, I fit in with them as much as I can. In this way, I gain their confidence and bring them to Christ. But I do not discard the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. When I am with those who are oppressed, I share their oppression so that I might bring them to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone so that I might bring them to Christ. I do all this to spread the Good News, and in doing so I enjoy its blessings.

— 1 Corinthians 9:21-23

Who do you need to connect to? Reconnect to? Who do you need to start inviting to church, to your singles ministry event? Start with connecting to God, to allow Him to remind you of your purpose then live out that purpose by connecting to others. It's not about you … it's about Him.

Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for He chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as He decided long ago. God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God.

— Ephesians 1:11-12
