Is there "just one" for you?
Posted : 6 Aug, 2009 08:58 AM

Often we hear about how God has made one just for you - that there is only one person in the world created just for you, etc, and that we are to wait on the Lord for this one person to come into our life. Sometimes this is referred to as one's soulmate and it obviates real choice.



I disagree strongly with such thinking. There is no one person, there are millions of people of various degree that are potential mates for all of us and it has to do with our willingness to love them and their willingness to reciprocate. There is no perfect mate - this is a myth.



Biblically speaking, I find only two cases of there being a "One." Eve, who was created expressly out of Adam's rib for Adam alone and Rebekah who was directed by God for Isaac. In the second case, this may simply be a matter of direction by God and answer to prayer, rather than a "one".



Perhaps if there was no Fall, we all would have received our Eves the same way as Adam but in a fallen and corrupt world, we have no choice but to choose.



Thoughts?

cattle,



I'll gladly forgive you...I know how discussions can lead to assumptions and bad conclusions very easily so its no big deal. i consider the matter settled.



My best advice is that you ask God for wisdom in all areas of your life and take joy in the freedoms God allows us to have but not to abuse them.



Know that God is sovereign and have FAITH that he will guide your steps even if he does not telll you where you are going.



Peace out :peace:

Ha! That's what I was thinkin', cattle...I guess he took that as you admitting you were wrong or something. Well...I think I was saying what you were saying...and I don't think I'm wrong...so I guess I don't think you're wrong either! But I forgive you.:goofball:
