I am single (unmarried & not dating), but God is my husband. I was just fully settled when a light breeze closed the car door for me; slowly, and gently, but with just enough force to shut it. God is such a gentleman; the breathe, or wind, of His spirit is with us all day, and for this I say:
He is my husband; I am His bride. He is my beloved, and I am His prize. I am His love, and He is my heart. Catch for me the foxes that spoil the vineyard; I want you to have the full harvest of my heart. He is my gift: lovely, kind, and gentle; He is the definition of the same love that He kindles. When people ask me why I am single, I shall say:'Have you met my husband?' My husband is like no other; He is above them all. He is strong! He is mighty! He is my protector and song! He supplies riches and glory to me. He brings home new wine and great joy to release. He is patient; His anger never lasts more than a second. He is altogether handsome. He's the full package; He's splendid! He is holy set apart unto me. His eyes blaze with fire; A passion for me. He says His name is jealousy; He says He just can't get enough. He counts the strands of my hair; He numbers every tear. He watches me as I go and as I come. He can't take His eyes off me; no, not even one. He says I'm His glorious bride, without spot or blemish. He sees me naked and says 'She is mine'. His every thought is of me; We were destined to be together. He never leaves my side; No matter how hard the weather. His promise is true, He has never broken a single one. He is fully devoted, He is God's son. Of all His riches, and all the nations who need something – He puts them on hold when I speak His name. He loves to hear my voice; He says I am his most valuable jewel – His crown and His glory. His love is a very deep pool. No matter how busy my days get, how stressed I am, he won't crack a whip. He always takes the time to listen about my day; He never puts His work or Himself above the things that I say. He is always there to comfort and encourage; He gives me fresh hope, for He is my courage. Good luck finding anyone better; He is above all the rest. His name is Jesus; Trust me – HE is the best. He knows my every thought, before I have spoken a word. He finishes my sentences before they are heard. He knows me altogether; inside and out. Together we laugh at the days to come. He is my anchor; We are wholly united – There may be a storm, but we have no bout. 'Home is where the heart is' and my heart is in Him. His spirit lives in me; In our connection there is only glee. Our union is glorious beyond glorious you see. He pours his love out on me, each and every, day and night. My body is His vessel; I'm set apart in His sight. He is the prince turned king; I worship Him alone. He calls me princess, and makes me the queen. He calls me up as a ruler, like He; He says, 'I'll give her the nations, so she can judge and have power like me.' He is my happily ever after. And He's kind to every child; He trains, instructs, and rears. He guides the obedient child; giving them wisdom beyond their years. He allows the rebellious to experience the consequences of their own decisions. Yet He goes after them with love; not a day should they spend in doubt. When they return to their senses, He'll brings them out – He'll take their punishment on himself. He takes them in, restore them, never putting them on the shelf. He takes on their consequences, and forgives their sin; He delights when they listen and return to Him. He gives wonderful inheritance to every child: Both boy and girl are showered with gifts wild. They both enjoy the riches of his kingdom; they have access to all the storehouses of wealth. There is nothing that they ask that he wouldn't give to help; In Him they find all they desire. His name is I AM, which means He's everything I need – And today that is a husband; someone to love and cherish me. He answers my requests so well I doubt I'll ever look for another; God loves me so well, I have no need for any other. In His arms is all I need; those same arms hold on tight to me. Night and day, He is there for all who listen; When they ask, they will see Him quicken. At a moments notice, everything is within grasp; All you can dream, and more than you could ask. He never leaves; no, He won't ignore. He doesn't fail to put the cherry on the cake; Hot fudge, nuts, & toppings galore. The most beautiful dessert you could ever hope to explore! He is my love; I'll call him names: Like Rapha, Shammah, & Nissi who reigns; But also my prince, my hero, my husband, and such; He is my God and He is too much!

– Rev. 19:6-8 – “Thanks to our God. For the Lord our God is King. He is the All-powerful One. Let us be full of joy and be glad. Let us honor Him, for the time has come for the wedding supper of the Lamb. His bride has made herself ready. She was given clean, white, fine linen clothes to wear. The fine linen is the right living of God’s people.”
– Is. 54:5 – For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name
– 1 Cor. 7:28-35,38 – But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord… So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.
