Be The One by Michael Card

God's Promise of Love

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone,
To have a deep soul relationship with another,
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively,
But God says to a Christian,
"No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content,
With being loved by me alone,
With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me,
With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone,
Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found,
Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship
That I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until you are united with Me,
Exclusive of anyone or anything else,
Exclusive of any other longings or desires.
I want you to stop planning,
Stop wishing,
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing,
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best.
Please allow me to bring it to you.
You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things,
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am,
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
You just wait.
That's all.

Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.
Don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I have given them.
Don't look at the things you want.
You just keep looking off and away up to Me,
Or you'll miss what I want to show you.

And then, when you're ready,
I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would dream of.
You see, until you are ready,
And until the one I have planned for you is ready . . .
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you,
You won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me,
And this is perfect love.

And dear one,
I want you to have this most wonderful love.
I want you to see in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with Me,
And to enjoy materially and concretely
The everlasting beauty, perfection, and love,
That I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly,
I am God.
Believe it and be satisfied."

The Ultimate Soulmate

~ Melanie Schurr

A recent article in our local paper caught my eye. The topic had to do with fate, romance and soul mates.

One woman described the moment she "found" her soul mate. "You know how the actors and actresses in 'Touched by an Angel' become illuminated when they disclose they are angels? Well, this guy looked at me and that's exactly how he appeared!" she said. She and her "soul mate" have been happily married for over 30 years now.

Another woman told how, at age 35, she still had not met someone she could make a lifelong commitment to. Then, at an out-of-state seminar, she met a man whose character she greatly admired. The two exchanged numerous letters and phone calls learning they shared many common interests and goals. After a year, the two were married and remain happily together.

Another woman's story wasn't so happy as she regretfully spoke of how she found out too late that her own husband was not her "soul mate."

Is there such thing as a "soul mate," a special someone who loves and accepts us more than any other, who understands how we think and feel, who is patient with our flaws and weaknesses, who appreciates us as the unique individuals we are, and with whom we share a special bond that none other can replace? Well, I cannot speak with certainty if such an earthly "soul mate" exists for each of us, but I do know that on a spiritual level, GOD is the ultimate soul mate. The love He offers to those who call upon Him is unique, more fulfilling than any other love we have ever known. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, we can have salvation, forgiveness of sins, strength to overcome adversity, and a sense of peace and joy that only faith in God can provide.

Yes, your "soul mate" is there, waiting for you. Seek Him early and you will know a love unlike any other.

1 John 4:7-10
Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God's child and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love. This is how God showed his love to us: he sent his one and only son into the world so that we could have life through him. This is what real love is: it is not our love for God; it is God's love for us in sending his son to be the way to take away our sins.
