Soulmate

I can assure you of one thing - God has not slacked off on preparing either one of you. You and the man God has handcrafted for you are first string instrumentalists in the most prominent of orchestras. No one understands the music score better than the composer Himself, as it is with God creating you. He knows exactly what characteristics you need from someone to compliment your personality and He knows exactly what benefit you will be to another. No one on this earth, not your parents, not your best friend, not even your “soulmate” can understand you fully – they didn’t design you with a purpose in mind. Think about it - while God is creating all of those who will come into your life, He has you in mind. Psalm 139:15-16 tells us all of our days were written in God’s calendar before we were even born. Isn’t that amazing! Rather than praying for you and your soulmate to be united now – pray God will bring you together in His time. One of the most difficult things you will ever encounter is waiting on God. You will find that more times than not, His timetable is not the same as ours. We want what we want when we want it. But God wants to use you right where you are just as you are. Remember you are His instrument. His purpose may only include you right now but trust me – when the time is right God will lead you to the man you have prayed for if you allow Him. It’s important that while you wait, you remain faithful. Be mindful that your actions now can directly impact your future and your future husband. You want to be able to bring the very best of yourself into a marriage. And while you find yourself waiting, enjoy the journey. Take the hand of the lover of your soul and walk with Him. Spend time with Him, get to know more about Him, read His word, and let Him speak to you, ask Him to give you peace while you wait. If you find yourself becoming impatient or anxious about the situation, remember what it is that you want in a relationship. Journal your thoughts and read I Corinthians 13:4-8 to remind yourself of the type of love God wants to give you. Sometimes I think God just wants us to show that we trust Him so He can give us the desires of our hearts, because it’s what He longs to do.

Now, if those few words of encouragement aren’t enough – let me give you the flip side. A freight train wreck waiting to happen, nails on a chalkboard, sandpaper constantly grinding, having your teeth pulled, a leaky faucet that just won’t quit, an annoying girl in your 5th period class with that shrill voice that gets on your nerves . . . all these things are what I think about when someone finds themselves in a miserable relationship. Just wait on God. He’ll put you on the right train, give you a manicure, leave the sanding to the construction crew, add some anesthesia for when that tooth hurts, send a plumber, and have the squealer transferred to a school in Ireland. And then, there will be Prince Charming waiting to take care of you as God intended.
