[FONT=Liberation Serif, serif]Thinkingabout the holy God-made marriage I got[/FONT]a conclusion and is this, one I want to share with believers andunbelievers... (which is predictable, and also avoidable, too).
Have you ever read and seen these verses?:
Joh 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Fatherwho sent me draws him. And I will raise him up onthe last day.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, andthe life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
[FONT=Liberation Serif, serif]Aswe could infer by reading these, Jesus leads to the Fatherand, the Father also led us to Jesus. Isn´t it like that?[/FONT]
I don´t know about you but, if God or the Lord Jesus were not sointerested -and concerned- in qualifying either men or women to beapproachable to Themselves; it´s obvious THEY also weren´tconcerned in taking several measures to make us holy enough,adequately qualified and prepared, to be engaged with the rightperson they needed we were meant to love under a long termrelationship, to be finally married on earth.
You could have chosen wrong. Your ex lovers could have chosen youwrongly, but GOD´s plans were much better than yous.
If those two single verses showed you the Godhead is concerned in theway such an everlasting relationship is or could be build (on earth)it is also up to Them we can trust the Godhead to be approachableenough to those who They chose us to interact with and to love,particularly in the matchmaking area, where we were so worried andconcerned "finding" that one we were looking for, while weinadvertently ignored the perfect choice rested on Their hands, butwe needed to interact with others, just that way we could be improvedto be perfected (Pro_27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one mansharpens another.)
When that day happens, it was God´s will (Pro 18:22 He who findsa wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.)
Whomever doesn´t find her, sought in the wrong place, or could bemade for another purpose (Mat 19:12 "[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]Forthere are eunuchs who have been so from birth[/FONT][FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif],[/FONT]")and there´s no doubt some where socially limited, physicallyhindered, emotionally castrated by several unmentioned earthlyreasons ("[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]and there areeunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men[/FONT],") as theLord Jesus might have clearly said ("[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]andthere are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake ofthe kingdom of heaven.[/FONT]") So, ("[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]Letthe one who is able to receive this receive it.[/FONT]").
If you really were led to be engaged and married to the one He (God)chose, remember these:
Mar 10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let not manseparate."
If you got married to that one:
Mat 19:6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What thereforeGod has joined together, let not man separate."
If God is so interested in an everlasting relationship with His ownSon, be also assured He could be concerned (and interested) in thequality, the depth and the type of relationships we could bedeveloping earthly: [FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]Wheneveryou were left or were gone, there was a reason that was needed[/FONT].Whenever you forced things, a love situation not deserving a try orits worth, something was needed to be changed (and improved) thoughmarriage is not for all people (and it doesn´t always please all ouressential needs).
We do not belong to this present world!
