the 'one'

July 24 2008

as many of you know, i hate being wrong. so, i did some research on the subject of 'one particular person that God has for you'. I was, indeed, wrong in part. No where in God's Word does it say that God has a particular person for you. Yes, there are many people you could choose, but God has a plan for everyone one of our lives and i believe that we can choose to follow it or not. if we pray for God to give us the desire to do His will, he will. I believe also that that concept applies to marriage and dating. You should pray and ask God if this person is in His plan for you.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

This is the verse that makes me think that there is someone in God's plan specifically made for you. Just like God specifically made Eve for Adam, I think that God might have made a special person for most of us. I think that we should pray that if He has a specific person in mind for your life, they will love you as much as God does.

And another thing I want to say is that another person, no matter who they are cannot complete you. If you are whole in Christ, you will not need anyone else to fill a void in your heart. If you are not, you pour yourself unnecessarily into someone else, and you become needy and still incomplete. So don't put your whole life into someone else just yet. First you should be complete in Christ and know that he makes you whole, not someone else.

Matthew 6:21

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

So i think that if you believe in your heart that God has a person designed for you and you seek after Him fervently, he will give you what you desire-a special person made specifically for you.

Psalm 37:3-4

"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."

No, I think that God doesn't have someone picked out for us. Or the perfect one in mind. When Amber and Aaron were doing their premarital marriage counseling their Christian counselor told them that every 5 years they would find someone more compatible with themselves then their spouse and another 5 years someone even more compatible. So if God had someone in mind wouldn't it be the one that was absolutely compatible? I also know many Christian families fall apart because of divorce even when they prayed for the right person time and time again. I believe that God does have a will for us, but I do not believe that he says "You, Austin, will marry so and so in the month of July." no that is silly to say you have free will but God says that you will do this and you have to do that or that you have to marry her. He even gives you a choice to obey his will or not. It is indeed his will that you go to church, whether you do that or not is your choice. It is also his will that you read your Bible once again your choice.Now bare with me this all relates back. So ok, when it comes to bigger things such as large scale ministry work, I think that you still have a choice but it will get done whether you let God use you or not. Say that you know God put going to Brazil to do ministry work on your hear, and you don't go. He will get someone else to because it will get done. Not much longer I promise I will get relate this back. So if God lets you make those kind of choices I also believe that God can use you no matter what, where, how, and when. That means that if you are praying "God should I move to NC and start a church or should I start one here?" I would say that he would answer it, but I believe that he would probably answer it "You make the choice that is best for your family" Because no matter where you are God Can Use You! Now it is not to say that he doesn't care because he does. He cares so much that he knows every hair on your head. So if he can use you no matter what concerning something as big as ministry then I am sure he can use you no matter what concerning marriage. Now, if he can use you no matter what or when doesn't that mean that he can teach you something where ever you are? So, in that theory I believe that where ever you are that probably means that you are supposed to be there in that moment. Now if you are at a dead point in your relationship with Christ you can be taught something but you should work to remove your self from that stalled period in your life.
