Five Tips On Having God Bring the Perfect Mate To You
One of the most pressing questions on a single person’s mind is, “When will I find Mr. or Ms. Right?” It’s so important that Internet dating services are making fortunes helping the unattached find their “soul mate.” Contrary to popular belief, I believe that you don’t even have to look. The Lord will bring that perfect person into your life. You may be asking yourself, how do you manage to do that? Well, it’s probably not what you expect, but it worked for me, and for my wife.
So what are these five miraculous tips? I’m glad you asked.
1.STOP ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A MATE AND WAIT ON THE LORD. This is probably the hardest tip to do. In this proactive world in which we live in we want to control as many factors as possible to find that special person. But I think God wants us to do the exact opposite. He wants us to wait on Him. Before you say that’s too simplistic, let me say this. Waiting is having faith. And, God honors faith. If it is in His will, He will provide the ideal person. But, you have to wait on Him. Even though He may choose not to give you a mate, that will be the best for you, and you will be happy and blessed. But don’t fret, He will show you one way or another. And God will honor your commitment to Him. An example, of a person who was committed to Him, is found in the book of Ruth. Ruth was a woman who lived in Moab with her mother-in-law. Her husband died and there wasn’t much hope for finding another spouse, still, she trusted God. In fact, since she waited, she was rewarded with a good and caring man. Not only did she have an ideal mate, but she was also blessed to be an ancestor of King David and Jesus. How God honored her! And how God will honor you. Waiting for a mate is more than just waiting for someone to love. It’s waiting for that person who will be compatible with you, and someone you can serve the Lord with on a marvelous adventure. Think of it, the God of the universe, who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, is working on your behalf. We in our limited view, many times, can’t see the implications of finding the right mate. Trust Him for this very important decision, believe me He knows what you are going thorough. Besides you will be active; you just won’t spend your time looking. What will all these activities consist of? Again I’m glad you asked.
2.OBEY THE LORD AND BECOME THAT PERSON HE WANTS YOU TO BE. I’m sure you’ve heard this tip over and over, but I found it to be true in my life. I begged God for a girlfriend, instead of trusting in His provision. To teach me a lesson, He gave me one, but I had so many internal conflicts that I broke it off. I decided not to insist on my own way with Him again. Instead, I chose to wait for the right mate, and become the person that He wanted me to be. I thought I was ready for marriage when I pleaded for a wife. But I wasn’t, I was extremely immature. Had I gotten married, I would have been either miserable, or ended up in divorce. However, since I decided to trust in the Lord, and work on my character, I wasn’t sorry. It took seven years from the time I broke up with my girlfriend to the time I stood at the altar. But, I was ready. The person the Lord brought into my life is the ideal woman for me. Rossane is God-fearing, caring, bright, beautiful and absolutely compatible with me. Another thing to remember is that God is preparing you, your mate, and the circumstances, for your life together. So, the timing for meeting your mate, your courtship and your marriage will be right. He or she will be special, and you will have His blessing. Wait for God to complete His work, you won’t regret it.
3.STAY PURE. Probably the biggest temptation, especially for a man, is to sin in an impure way. It‘s so easy to access pornography or spend too much time watching television programs we shouldn’t. When I decided to remove all questionable activities from my life, I felt an anointing. In other words, I was separated for something special. That something special turned out to be my relationship with Rossane. After about a year of consistently being faithful in this area, I got involved in ministry, and a year later I began courting her.
4.SERVE IN MINISTRY. Ministry takes your spiritual life to a whole different level. You feel close to God and He works in your life. To be truly effective you must consistently obey the Lord. In the process, He is purifying you and preparing you spiritually, as to how you will serve Him, once you are married. Both my sister Miriam and I were involved in our church’s singles ministry when we met our spouses. Another advantage of ministry is that you are busy. Plus, your mind will be on more positive things than losing hope of finding a mate.
5.DON’T GIVE UP. It takes a lot of courage to wait on the Lord, to obey, to stay pure and to serve in ministry. But the results are worth it. So, don’t give up! Everyday I marvel at God’s handy work in our marriage. We are truly happy, because we trusted Him. Your focus and commitment to Him now will have long lasting effects well into your married life. God wants someone very special for you. I believe match making is very close to the Lord’s heart. Completely trust and obey Him, and God will bring your perfect match to you.
