Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop this thread in to encourage everyone not to lose heart. God has someone for everyone that he has put the passion and desire to share life with. God wouldn't put that desire in you if he didn't already predestine you to be with someone in the first place. Otherwise, you wouldn't be worried about it just as Paul in the New Testiment was. Anyway, I'm kinda swaying off of what I was saying. I encourage all my brothers and sisters to keep looking towards christ and not looking away even for a second to see if that person you want to be with is coming or not. God is faithful and just to provide all that we desire in our hearts according to his will and he put that desire in us so it's no contest that he is going to fulfill the very desire he puts in us. Keep your eye's on prize, everyone! God wants to see taht he will be our first love now and forever, especially when that person you have been desiring to be with comes into the picture. I love all of you dearly and declare blessing and wisdom over all of you.

Very well said . I totally agree with you. We should put Christ first above everything else. And God will provide that special someone if you would just sincerely ask for it.

So I don't agree there is someone for everyone ...'cause some people want to be single forever. And I don't agree that there is just ONE person for people who want to get married either...but you didnt say that so i dont have to get into it. BUT! i do totally agree that if you really desire to get married someday that God wouldnt give you that feeling and then leave you hanging. so thanks :) I'm excited for that day...but I'm not gonna rush it anymore. It's all in God's timing! wewt!

Amen, God should be above all else and then he will send you a mate if you truely wish to have one. I agree with points you both made especially the one about waiting on Gods timing. I was single for nearly 7 years (magical number it seems huh) before God sent someone to me. When i first became single after a bad relationship i tried to fill that void with someone else, but it always turned out that the individual i chose was someone totally wrong for me. After a few tries i just turned it over to God and began to obsorb myself in kingdom building. After a while i did meet someone (never intending to) and it turned out that she is the right one for me. Everything about our personalities match right down to the way we want our eggs flipped. Its amazing. Our kingdom goals match and so do those of education and many other things. I encouage those out there who dont yet have that special someone to continue waiting on God, and if you arent waiting on him, you can choose to do so today. Its a much greater thing and you can save youself plenty of heartache by avoiding bad relatiionships. In the end youll not only gain a wonderful life partner in the Lord, but also become closer to your God. God bless and be blessed in Jesus.

Not to be a downer here, but I know some older people who are good strong Christians, and always wanted to get married but it never happened. So I'm not sure about the whole "If you have the desire, God will definitely provide" thing.....if that's true, how do you explain godly Christians who have the desire for marriage but it doesn't ever happen?

Agreed. God has not promised anyone a great mate, so don't make Him responsible for providing you with one. Some people are fortunate and find love, others do not. That's just life.

I tend to disagree with you there, Groundhog. I think if God has chosen a person to remain single, He will give them the grace and the gift of remaining single. His Word says, no good thing will He withold from those who walk uprightly. But perhaps some just take longer to get to that place of preparedness where Jesus is our all and He can trust us not to base our happiness on that other person but on Him! And perhaps the calling on some people's lives may require a deeper preparedness. Just pondering all this. God bless!

I absolutely agree with Twilight. God wil answer our hearts desire.. Thats what I believe. But that its going to take time and lots of patience.. And if we cling to God, I also believe time will fly, and before you know it God would have brought someone amazing in your life!

I guess real encouragement would involve adding that even if you have to be single your whole life and unloved and die as a wrinkly old prune in a nursing home somewhere staring at a blank wall for 5 years until you eventually kick the bucket - Jesus will welcome you into His eternal home full of friends and family where you will live in glorious bliss for ever and ever.

LOL!! Hilarious you guys! I guess with some things (more likely most things) we really just have to learn to trust God even when we can't figure out all the whats and hows and whys. He often doesn't give us all the answers because He wants us to have that personal dynamic with Him where we listen for His voice and simply learn to trust His heart towards us in the matter.

Yeah, I'm thinking trust is a huge factor here! I think when we're prepared to trust God with this and all the other big issues in our life, then we are more prepared to enter into a relationship that is going to need a whole lot of love and trust and the strength of God to be all that it is intended to be. Not to mention for it to last!!

Hmmm I firmly believe that our relationship with Jesus must be a love one... somewhere I heard someone say that Jesus should be the Perfect Lover (if I'm wrong here please correct me!) But for me, if you love God with all your heart, and unconditionally, more so than you love yourself and the life you are living, then trusting God must come normally, and also be dependent on God.

God is good, and if you keep placing Him first in every aspect in your life, wondrous things will happen -not only in your love life!
