And sometimes he sends you flowers that you didn't want.. 
(just messing with u lol)
(just messing with u lol)
And if I happened to want the flowers it's automatically a match made in heaven but the reality is that love is only a myth. (Just messing with you as well... Lol! ) love is real btw.
[h=1]James 1:17English Standard Version (ESV)[/h]17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.[a]
Simply stated: Everything good in your life comes from God....
[h=1]Matthew 6:33English Standard Version (ESV)[/h]33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
You have to read back about 6 verses for this to make sense. This is in regards to provision. No special favors. Simply stated "Dont worry, Gods got this."
Neither of these verses say anything about getting specials just because you want them. This is completely out of context.
Show me where it says favors....

Just another expectation in a long line of unmet expectations that leave people wanting, deafeated and demoralized. God isn't some Santa Claus that gives you presents if your nice and withholds them if you're naughty. Get out and date, listen to your gut, don't ignore red flags and find someone compatable to your personality and lifestyle.

I think another problem that arises with the mindset that God matches people up is that when people do get together they have all these preconceived notions about what that other person is supposed be.....and you end up murdering each other's spirits in your quest to mold them into that expectation you placed on them before you even met them. Lol. Religion and incestious religious thinking is so destructive and cruel to the people around you. If anything...being comfortable and accepting of that person underneath your own skin is the only way to be happy with the person you are with. Being religiously stuck on ideas and preconceived notions is actually personified insecurity and will destroy every relationship you find yourself in. Just my opinions based on experience. We will never change another person enough to make us comfortable with ourselves. Lol
And I know that for me. I absolutely love watching my child grow and flourish and be secure in himself...make good choices, have good relationships and friends. I also love it when he overcomes adversity and learns. Is our Father in heaven any different or less joyful about any of that? Life is about connection. Horizontally to others and vertically to God. The people part is the hard one because lots and lots of humans are fickle biased selfish morons. We have to surround ourselves with the good ones that bring life to our lives.
I apologize if my posts come across as angry. I'm really not. I have a tendency to try to cut thru the crap as quickly as possible. I'm not being arrogant when I say that my gift is understanding why people do what they do. I understand human nature. We have a strong desire for self preservation. We are fearful insecure creatures who's actions a reactions to life and curcumstances become automatic impulses based on that desire for self preservation. Life is the process of unbecoming everything you thought you should be and unlearning all you have learned. We are supposed to unbecome what we have become so that we can be who God truly meant for us to be. If that makes any sense at all.
God is not going to bring your future wife to your door no..... I think it is more meant that God has a person made fr you to be your possible soul mate... I ended up with a abusive husband but that was because I was not to Godly when I met him and got involve with him I had strayed away from god.. Now i feel like I am being punished most days. I am torn about how to fix things in my life. that is another story though.. God has given you an idea of the kind of woman he would like you to be with. It is one who will have the same basic principles as you. A woman who believes in God. A woman who is kind etc.... However my friend you have to look for that woman. God will only help you make the choice by the fact that you will feel in your heart that this woman is your soul mate. your desire. your everything. He will let you know that way. I suggest getting into a place where you can find a woman who shares your interests, hobbies, religious beliefs etc.... and start asking some girls on some dates... You willl know when it is right. You can not meet the one if your not trying to find her..
He desires that all turn from their sin, repent, and believe That's pretty big, right there. Can you imagine a world free from sin? I dare say we would not recognize such a world.

1. If we took a few moments, we could think of many more people in scripture... for each of whom God said he had a plan, or purpose.
2. So, if God had plans and purposes for all of those people... how is it he has no plan or purpose for you or me?
Justness of Plans:
1. If God DOES have plans for some people, then he considers it MORALLY JUST to direct people's lives according to his plans
2. If it is MORALLY JUST for God to direct people's lives according to his plans... why is it somehow NOT morally just to direct YOUR life according to his plans?
