Fully Consecrated

The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." - Matthew 19:10-11

But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage... - Luke 20:35

The context in Luke 20:35 was that men weren't going to be married after the resurrection. The verses before and after verify that Jesus didn't mean those who married aren't considered worthy of taking part in the resurrection.

But taken by itself, this verse jumped out at me. So did Matthew 19:10-11. 'Not everyone can accept this word...'

The question is, had God given me the word?

A month or so ago, Joy spoke of singlehood, and there was a weird echoing in my soul, like resonance of some music in a higher frequency, too high for human ears to hear.

Am I called by God to be single? The Scriptures seemed to speak to me. The events in my life certainly point to singlehood for now.

But for ever and always?

I am willing, if it is God's will. It will be a tough road for sure, but anywhere God leads is beautiful and my soul will be content.

Am I one of those to whom the word has been given?
