My brother is married at 25. Just got married today. Best wedding ceremony I’ve ever heard or been to. Had a great time singing and, yes, even dancing.
But I am single. And it hurts right now. I even had to spend a great deal of effort keeping my eyes to myself. There were a few attractive guys at the reception and that’s always an interesting experience.
And I have a lot of anxiety about a wide variety of things at the moment.
What does the Gospel say about all of this?
Gay and Evangelical 
The Gospel says the same thing it always says: concerning anxiety – do not be anxious but cast your cares on the One Whose perfection is credited to you; concerning loneliness – your Savior understands your loneliness because He left perfect and happy fellowship to redeem you & someday we will be there with Him; concerning attraction – do not lust, set your affections on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father.
Nothing new, the same, Old Story. Yet exactly what we need. Rejoice for your brother. Weep at this fallen world. He loves you and will never leave you.
Thanks, Becky. I appreciate the encouragement. I’ve been thinking a lot about loneliness and why I would *want* to be married if I was going to go that route and am more open to the idea of marrying a girl, but have simultaneously realized that my reasons are off for wanting that right now. So I’m more open to the idea, but less motivated by fear, overall.
Praying for you.
