I believe I got it this time. For a while I used to not believe in the positive affirmations my
grandmother would tell me, but now I do. I had a negative mentality towards myself. I used to
hate myself because I didn't feel loved or like the way I looked. I just wanted to say that I finally
believe in something that used to bother my soul for longest time. What is it you say? It is the
belief that God has a soulmate for you. A soulmate!! You've got to be kidding me, some might say;
that's only a fairytale way of thinking. But I truly believe and not worry anymore. It happened a
few days ago.
I was on Joyce Meyer's website looking at her daily devotinals. I decided to read one of articles
titled "Where the Mind Goes, the Man Follows". While reading this artlice, I came across a line that
confirmed my prayer; the comfirmation of believing God has a soulmate made especially for you.
This is the actual passage:
"I challenge you to get into God’s Word and see what He says about you and your situations.
Think about what you are thinking about on a regular basis. Don’t just accept thoughts like, I
guess I’m going to be poor and in debt all my life... Nobody’s ever going to want to marry me...
My thinking is never going to change. Instead, get into agreement with God. Begin to think things
like, God wants me to prosper in every way (see 3 John 2). God has the perfect mate that He is
preparing for me while I rest in Him (see Genesis 2:18). God is changing me every day, from one
degree of glory to another, to be just like Jesus (see 2 Corinthians 3:18)."
I went to read my Kings James version of the Bible and read Genesis 2:18.
Here is the passage, but I went up to verse 24 to get a better understanding (If you don't have bible..go to www.biblegateway.com):
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
I was wowed or having an 'ah hah' moment. I was telling myself, "I got it...I finally understand"
This has freed me from the bond of worrying about looking for him, because I know God will bring
him when I am ready to receive him. I know that I must first love who I am, know who I am and
enjoy life without a man. When I do that, it shows God that I am happy being by myself...even if it
is many years before I meet my soulmate/husband. So DON"T BE DISCOURAGED. I LOVE YOU
GUYS..

Also I've been reading Joel Osteen's "Become a Better You", which was a Christmas gift from my
grandmother, and I haven't put it down since. Reading that book help open the door of my heart
to God even more.
