Waiting on the Lord for Your Soul Mate
July 1, 2008
Many people get discouraged and disheartened when they cannot find a good lasting relationship. People also try to rush a relationship because they have the opportunity to be in one. However, the Bible tells us in Psalm 27 that we need to be patient and trust in God to show us the right person to date.
As humans, we tent to get anxious and want to find our future soul mate as soon as we want to. This may cause us to get discouraged when we don’t find a person right away. God already knows who, and where your soul mate is. He also knows when and where you will meet that person; so don’t take take finding your future soul mate into your own hands. Trust in the Lord and he will guide you in the right direction. If we try to take things into our own hands, then we will get discouraged because we are not God. “Be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD” remember also not to rush into a relationship just because you get the opportunity to be in one.
We also tend to rush into a relationship just because we are desperate to be in one, even if we know deep inside that the person we are dating is not meant for us. If you know that you are getting yourself into a relationship that won’t work out for you, then get out because that isn’t what God has planned for you. If you try to do things without God, then obviously you will not find success!
Remember that the Lord knows you better than anybody and knows exactly who your soul mate is so there is no need to rush things. Have faith in the Lord and pray and when his (not yours) time is right, you will meet that person that God has made just for you and find a true long lasting, God honoring relationship.

Perfect Match Dating and Waiting Game
February 16, 2007
So another Valentine’s Day has come and gone and you still haven’t found that perfect match? I know some looking for that perfect match may feel like those poor folks from the Island of Misfit Toys, when they thought Rudolph and Santa had passed them by yet again. Sigh.
But please…don’t believe your doubts on this matter of finding your perfect match. The key here is waiting on God for His perfect timing. The world may tell you otherwise, but believe me, this is the way to go.
For whatever it’s worth, did you know that family counselors have found that the biggest break up day of the year is…the day after February 14? I can’t help but feel sorry for those dating singles who thought they had the perfect match in some person, but instead are now heartbroken.
The Perfect Match For You Will Happen in His Perfect Time
If you’re feeling down about your perfect match prospects, remember God promises to provide for all of your needs (Phil. 4:19), which includes your need for companionship. Just hang in there, and trust Him to do this in His time.
