Find Your Soulmate
Years ago, I asked God to send me a wife, for the Bible
says, “You have not because you ask not.”
I told the Lord not just that I wanted a wife but
even explained to him the kind of wife I was looking
for.
I told him I wanted someone who is kind, tender, gentle, compassionate,
loving, sincere, peaceful, generous, affectionate, understanding,
passionate, warm, intelligent, humorous, sensual and trustful.
I even mentioned the things I wanted her to be physically. And
as time passed, I would add more things to this list of my heart
desire for a wife.

Then one night in prayer, God spoke to my heart and
said, “Son I cannot give you what you've asked
me for.”
I said, “Why not Lord?”
He replied, “For I am a just God and a God of
righteousness and all I do is just and right.”
I said, “Lord, I don't understand why I cannot
have what I have asked you for.”
He replied, “Then I will explain. It would
not be just and right for me to grant to you your
wish for I cannot give unto you something that you
are not yourself. It would not be fair for me to grant
unto you a person that is loving if you can sometimes
be hateful, or someone that is kind if you can also
be mean, someone that is a forgiver and yet you can
still carry a grudge, someone that is sensitive and
you are yet so insensitive... etc.”
He said unto me, “Instead of wasting time trying
to find someone or hoping that I will give you someone
with all these qualities you seek, you should rather
allow me to take this time to allow you to become
all it is that you are looking for. I cannot give
to you someone which you are not.”
“And if you allow me to work up on your spirit and to shape
and mould your heart as I choose then when you see the one I have
for you, you will be able to say like Adam said, ‘She is
bone of my bone and she is flesh of my flesh.’ for you will
see yourself in her for you both will be one flesh.”

Keep this in mind.
This is for all:
The recently married;
The ones who have been married;
The soon to get married;
And the ones that are still looking.
God made woman from man's rib -
Not from his head to top him,
Nor from his feet to be walked upon;
But from his side to be his partner in life,
From under his arm to be protected by him,
And from near his heart to be loved by him.
Whether or not you believe in God, much of the above still applies.
