FINDING A LIFE PARTNER TO BE YOUR SPOUSE!

The FOllOwing Is An Article That Was Written When SOmeOne Asked Us
The FOllowing QuestiOns: "Did GOd Create One Life Partner FOr One
PersOn? What If YOu Miss Him Or Her And Marry The WrOng One? My
Answer:
YOur QuestiOn Is Quite Difficult To Answer Because Who KnOws The Mind
Of GOD-Except GOd Himself. But I Can Give YOu My Educated OpiniOn. I
Truly Believe That GOd Created Us To Marry One Life Partner (Until
Death Part Us). But I DOn't Necessarily Think There Is Only One
Husband Or Wife Out There That Is The Only One FOr Us.
I Think GOd Draws Men And WOmen TOgether But Ultimately He Gives Us
The ChOice. When We Lack WisdOm, The Bible Tells Us To Ask FOr It And
GOd Will Give It To Us GenerOusly (James 1:5). I Believe This Also
Pertains To Who We Decide To Marry. If We Truly Want What Is Best FOr
Us In Who We Marry, We Need To Ask GOd FOr WisdOm And Then Pursue
Looking FOr The Answer He Will PrOvide. But Then As The Bible Also
Tells Us In James Chapter 1, We Need To Make Sure That When We Ask We
Believe WithOut DOubting His Answer-Believing In His LOving Care.
The PrOblem We Often Have Is We Think That GOd Wants To Give Us What
Makes Us Immediately Happy.
We Seem To Get The Idea That Marriage Is All About Us And Our LOve And
NOt About HOw It Pertains To AnyOne Else. That's So Untrue! "Marriage
Is A COvenant RelatiOnship That GOd Wants To Use FOr His GlOry To Give
The WOrld A Glimpse Of What He Is Like." It's A Living Picture
Displayed ThrOugh A Husband And Wife Of GOd's LOve FOr His Church The
Bride.
Marriage Is Also "A Tool And A Test To Deepen YOur LOve, Trust, And
Obedience FOr Jesus Christ. Marriage Is NOt About YOu. It's AbOut GOd-
Reflecting The LOve And Character Of Christ In All We Do." That's Why
It's So ImpOrtant To "COnsider The COst" Of The Sacrifice GOd Intends
FOr Us To Live Out FOr The Rest Of Our Lives BefOre The Wedding.
Because Once We Marry-Once We Make That SOlemn VOW BefOre GOD, He
Intends FOr Us To FollOw ThrOugh With That Which We PrOmised. As It
Says In The Bible, "This Is What The LOrd COmmands: When A Man Makes A
VOw To The LOrd Or Takes An Oath To Obligate Himself By A Pledge He
Must NOt Break His WOrd But Must Do Everything He Said" (Numbers
30:1-2). And That's Why It's So ImpOrtant FOr Us To Pray In Earnest
That We Will Marry The One Who Will Help Us To Live Out Our VOws To
The Fullest. When We Find SOmeOne Whö "Seems" Like They WOuld Be The
Best SpOuse FOr Us, We May "Pray"- But All Too Often Deep DOwn, We
Already Have Our Mind MAde Up That We're Sure This WOuld ße The One
WhO WOuld ße The Best SpOuse FOr Us. GOd DOesn't Always See Things Our
Way.

What Immediately Looks Good To Us-The One We're Certain GOd WOuld
ApprOve Of (Because They "Appear" To Be The Best FOr Us) May NOt
Actually Be The BEST ChOice FOr Our Lives In The LOng Term (It May,
But It Also May NOt Be). That's Why We Need To Earnestly Seek True
WisdOm FrOm GOd And Be Living In ClOse RelatiOnship With GOd So We
KnOw When GOd Is Speaking To Us.

The Bible Says, "ThOse Who Live AccOrding TO The Sinful Nature Have
Their Minds Set On What That Nature Desires; But ThOse Who Live In
AccOrdance With The Spirit Have Their Minds Set On What The Spirit
Desires" (RoMANS 8:5).

We Need To Be Patient In Deciding Who To Marry And Really Look At
Whether They WOuld ße The Best Spiritual Partner-Because When We Marry
GOd Intends FOr Us To Be JOined With Them Spiritually FOr The Rest Of
Our Lives. And If They DOn't Live Out That Which GOd Values As Being
ImpOrtant, That COuld FOrever Greatly Affect Our Lives (And Our Future
Children And So Many Others) In Very Negative Ways.
