I don't quite know how to start this but I felt the need to say these things after someone asked me for advice.
God is in control over who comes into our lives like everything else. When disappointment happens when you thought you found that someone, you have to quickly fight through it and focus on the fact that God is looking out for you even when everything seemed so right to you.
He''s our Father and best friend, He doesn't just know everything, He knows every Possible everything. All of the hundreds of billions of every different possible scenario of every second in every day, He knows like we know our ABC''s. And He is working everything for the one that is individually perfect for us if you submit to it.
His hand is on every aspect of our life. The hand that stretched out the universe, at least 46 billion light years across. Is On Us.
He said Psalm 139 17-18 17 "17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. "
All of the power He used to create everything He is using for our good.
Even if it doesn't seem that way. Do not ever stop asking to find your future spouse.
He says in James 4. "You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. "
And asking for the one for you, for a Christ centered marriage, is not a selfish pleasure. It glorifies God and points people towards Him when its done His way. He want us to pursue love, and He wants us to rely on Him for it. It Will Happen. Remind Him of His promises as you pray.
Do not ever think "It would have happened by now" or "He/She was the one and I messed it all up." Because that's not how it really works.
Memorize these, they help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!"
Isaiah 49:15-16 "15�Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;your walls are ever before me. "
Romans 8:32 "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?"
Isaiah 40:30-31 "Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you."
Isaiah 42:16 " And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them"
I found this some time ago, Its written from God's perspective towards us. Whether or not He used someone to write it is beyond me but from what I've learned it does sound like something He would say to us. http://www.eternalchoice.com/perfectlove.php
We have to watch out for the pit fall of wanting a spouse more than we want God. God is our Real soul mate. Marriage is the reflection of that.
I hope this helps anyone that stumbles on this over the years.
P.S. Another thing, while you look through profiles here, Pray for each of them that they find the one for them. It will go full circle back to you.
I wish this thing had an edit feature, I accidentally left something out.
Be thankful that it happened, it means God has your back and He didn't allow the wrong person in your life any longer than to accomplish something that He knew you needed at that time. It means that even when you thought that person was perfect for you, and was the right one, that God has someone Even Better than you can imagine.
I was dating a man for 2 months now it turn out he was not a christain mand and just out looking for women to have sex with. But God showed me the light and I pray God leads me to the right christian man to come into me life.
God is not in control..PERIOD. her is a spirit in contol of this world and his name is....Satan.
Sometimes God decides by himself what will happen and sometimes God modifies his plan to accommodate the choices, decisions, and desires of his created things.
God does not use us..sometimes God tells us what to do...and his commandments are not grevious, sometimes God asks us to do things for him. See God wants our cooperation.
Another way of saying it is that "life is not a puppet show", oh it sounds nice to say that God is using you, real spiritual, for those who may not know the difference between the real and the counterfeit.when dealing with standing Christians who have some clue and maturity in the word....well, reproof follows, as in that practice is not accurate...and even sometimes correction follows, as in that practice has become a habit and you are lead back to rational, real and accurate doctrine...
We use people sometimes, we all make mistakes...THINGS are used, so do please attempt to "show me the way"...lol
