Is there such thing as a soul mate...

[sport123]

Is there such thing as a soul mate or one specific person meant for us. I think I've lost my hope in that. Because I've prayed for over a decade and waited patiently. All those precious years. I guess I should have just picked someone who would marry me (which is very few it seems) and make it work. If it doesn't, keep trying. That is what everyone else is doing. I'm so insecure and down about the whole situation. Seems the more I pray about it, the more discouragement comes. It is so damaging to get your hopes up about something, and it not come to pass. You are better off not wanting anything I guess. Edited November 12, 2005 by sport123

I want to share a story (real life) with you. Years ago I went to church with this guy who had been married and was divorced. He had and has the Holy Spirit in him. He was so perplexed. He was trying to live right, and he desperately wanted to have a family. It seemed like that it would never happen for him. We sang in the choir together and being deep voiced I would have to sing near the males. We would often talked. I could see his pain. One night at practice I told him that I was going to start praying for him, that he would meet the girl of his dreams. He listened to me, but truly, I don't think either one of us had much hope. Boy were we wrong. Not long after that this young lady started coming to church. Well, to shorten this account, I'll tell you this. She had never been married. They started dating got married and she became with child. Triplets (naturally) a set of three healthy boys. Recently they had another baby boy. Talk about God blessing. I truly believe that they are soul-mates. I can think of some other examples of soul-mates also. I do believe that there is such a thing. I don't agree with you about the way you feel about people who have been married before. I have been most everything while in this life. I have learned that His grace is just that, (Amazing Grace), and I so thank Him for it. I'm going to lift you up to Him about this heartfelt matter in your life. It has been shown to me in my journey, that when the Lord stated that all things are possible with God, that's exactly what He meant. Don't give up hope, yet!!! .......jmh137

sport, it is my belief that soul mates are made more than are just there. Two people coming together in marriage and becoming one is not something that just happens. Both members must work to make it happen and it is not always easy.

I don't know of any couple that have been together for a long time that have not had troubles at one time or another and ususlly both. You just need to find someone truthful that has the wherewithall to really keep marriage vows and that you like. Marriage is much easier when you find someone that you like....

jmh137, I love that story. It's soo cool how that happened. and sport, don't give up. you can learn something from being single. i'm learning some stuff.lol. i'm 18 and i've never had a real boyfriend. it might seem like i've been worring over nothing and all of that, but i used to feel like i had to have a boyfriend before a certain age or i was weird, but i'm trying to just trust in God's timing. God knows what's best. He'll give you you're soulmate in His own time.

I come from the belief that God has picked for us who He wants us to marry BUT it is still something that requires quite a bit of work.

I believe in some cases yes. My aunt and uncle were true soul mates, partners in life. In 44 years marriage they never left each others side. How I wish that were true in my marriage.

I only have one thing to say

"Seek and you shal find"

[Qun Mang]

I don't believe there is just one, but several people out there who could be your soul mate. Keep looking and praying, and one day God will let you know you found one of them!

There is no Scriptural basis that can be applied universally, which says that God has ONE person picked out for everyone. God will guide you in your choice, but to claim the concept of a soulmate, as universallly applied doctrine from Scripture, is pure myth. The Bible makes no such claims.
