God created a man just for you? I thought we were created for God? Sorry, but there is no biblical basis for the 'soul mate', or 'the one' or someone being created for another person.
I see in another thread you would not be happy being single, if that's what God wanted for you. Can you say you are truly spiritually ready to be in a marriage when you're finding your happiness in marriage and not God?
I'd like to be married, but i'm not basing my happiness on the idea. I'd rather do my best to enjoy my life and be happy where God has me, even if its not what i want. I used to think like you. All that came out of it was being miserable and wasting my life.
Much of the more serious chat in the singles forums here are about learning to be content being single. Hopefully you can get something out of those talks.

I see you've been reading my posts :) -that's cool!

What i meant was that i am in search of someone who would love me and be with me for life. Not literally created by God just for me. Of course, i will post this in singles forum as I am looking for someone who is not married.

I do not have power over God, i acknowledge that if it is His will for me to be single for my lifetime, who am i to disagree? I was just voicing out my plea....i am happy the way i am now and would be happier to find my life partner, God willing. :)

BTW, is there a way to delete this thread? I was bit offended with the way you commented on my post so I'd rather have this thread deleted. Peace!

ugly's comments were sound
He makes valid points but he was very blunt and in my opinion insensitive with the way he was critical of Shey's post. It doesn't surprise me at all but someone new here like Shey may be offended by it.

Ugly's comments may have been sound but I think they could have been said differently. Like that saying "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" Don't take down your thread, it's a part of posting. If you feel like your having problems with anything you shouldn't feel uncomfortable posting them on here. Your gonna get replies from all kinds of people. Anyhow I guess I'm one of those rare people who believe that God did make someone for me and I was also one of those people that wasn't sure if they would be content being alone :rolleyes: But I also know that is in God's hands and it will happen whenever he decides for it to be so, if he decides for it to be so. So until then there's no need to sit and wonder. Go out and live your life for God and if you still find yourself thinking those thoughts (like We all do) just remind yourself "I'm not going to worry about it, it's in God's hands" So Good Luck to you and God Bless :cool:

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. When you quit looking for a man and look for God in each day, he will come. No one like the p word (patience), but will pray in God's time that he will give you the desires of your heart.

I see what you did there, eh.

:D

(That's supposed to be an "ey" eh, not an "meh" eh. If that makes sense...)
You're right, it is supposed to be ey. And as a Canadian saying ey should come easily to me, what an embarrassing mistake :)

there is no biblical basis for the 'soul mate', or 'the one' or someone being created for another person.
Really? I remember a verse in the Bible where God said it's not good for man to be alone. Or where Solomon said in Proverbs, "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD."

It seems bizarre to castigate somebody for a normal human emotion. Humans were meant for companionship, to help each other. To reprimand someone because they're not "leaning" enough on God seems kind of ridiculous.

BTW, if the Lecrae that liked the above post is the actual Lecrae, that's awesome.

What ugly said is terse but it's 'truth,' too, and, we should welcome 'truth,' God says that He will make marriage a great thing, but He is the one who will put marriage together.

I'm not married, never been, never had, OK, stopping there, but I will say this, I am WAITING on Him, and, God does say in Matthew 10, that what He has brought together, let no one tear asunder (apart). So, we are to KNOW that God is who brings us a partner, and, what I did like of the OP was that she is wanting prayer that God will bring her a partner.

That is good, we are to pray to God in our lives, but, again, more truth, at least, the best example I can think of, is not our praying for a certain someone but instead praying for a certain Someone, if you will, to show us His will that is perfect for our life to follow Him. Afterall, it may seem that life is all about 'love' but it's really much more than that, it is all about living our lives to give glory to God. "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

And, 'love' is a huge part of that, as 1 Cor. 13 says, better to have 'love' than 'faith' or 'hope' even, love, indeed, conquers a lot, but, please keep in mind, miladies, seeking a man for love, but only one love conquers all, His. Because He loved us, and, sent His Son to die for us, we can be with the promise of the 'peace' of having Him in our life forevermore :)

Sorry, sheyprincess, that you felt scolded by Ugly , he meant well, he meant 'truth.' :)

And, we all know, 'the truth will set you free.' And, challenges are good, they make us grow. Without challenges, we don't grow. It takes faith to get through challenges and, for Christians, that faith will come through 'faith in Him.' (Phil 3: 8,9)
