God Sees Your Struggles As A Single Parent – It Is Not A Crime Or Shame!
Do you know that many of the champions of industries, entertainment, sports, arts, and others we all celebrate today were raised by single parents? Some were their mothers, while others were submitted by their single fathers.
However, it is appalling and also quite shocking to see that these selfless, courageous, humane, loving, and highly responsible individuals who chose to stay and raise their children alone after their partners either died, ended up in prisons, or decided to be deadbeat; unfortunate parents are the ones being systematically vilified and talked down on by a society that should be a lot more grateful to them instead!
Many single parents I’ve encountered have raised and are still raising champions and successful business tycoons, too. They’ve raised scholars and great achievers, and I am proud to be identified as one of them. These single parents singlehandedly do the work meant for two people, and many of them never even have time for themselves or vacations because there’s no one to leave their children to.
To every single parent out there today: Don’t think that your children are not seeing your sacrifices and all you’re doing for them. Oh, they are because they’re watching you!
When you go on your knees to pray that God makes them better and protects them and that HE keeps you strong to continue providing and being there for them, they see you. When you pray that God blesses and makes them more significant than you and better than their late or deadbeat parent who is supposed to be your partner, they hear and see you.
However, this is not even as important as ensuring that you keep raising them in prayers before God so that even if they don’t see or hear you in your secret, quiet place of prayers, HE will continue to see and watch over them for you.
So, again to every single parent out there, please know that you have committed no crime, and it is not a sin to be a single parent. You may be bereaved, separated, going through or already divorced, or maybe the man/woman you brought these children into the world with is an irresponsible, no-good deadbeat who abandoned them and left you with all the work of raising those beautiful gifts from God.
Don’t let the pain get to you. Don’t look back. Keep moving. There is light at the end of this tunnel for you and those fantastic children you’re singlehandedly raising. Don’t give up! God sees you – HE knows you. HE understands and feels your pain.
Finally, please don’t allow yourself to see this situation as a pain or burden to you, too. Don’t take it as a pain but a blessing from God.
So, remain blessed always, and I love you all!
