Ok, this is probably not going to be an easy question to answer, at least not over the Internet.
I think that I've probably been given the gift of singleness, as I have no desire to ever get married. It's not a matter of putting off marriage because of immaturity or selfishness, because I am not immature and I love to help others and enjoy putting them before myself. The only thing remotely similar that I desire, is to have at least one Godly companion...someone I can talk to and understand and that will understand me. I am not attracted to anyone physically, but I am attracted to people in a spiritual and intellectual platonic way.
Both Paul and our Lord mentioned that the gift of singleness was to be used for the benefit and advancement of the Kingdom. How would I best serve this purpose since I am a woman?
Does anyone have any advice? Being without a pastor or church, all of you are the closest things I have.
Thanks!
