Throughout the internet and spiritual magazines the word soul mate is used as being marriage material, the only right one for you. The real danger in this line of thinking is that many people mistake a wave of emotion as the identifying mark of their soul mate.<\/p>\n
Deep in the heart there is hope that there is someone out there who is the \u2018right one\u2019 for you. Loneliness is a hunger born deep in the heart. It is reflective of the inner need and eagerness to seek fulfilment and completeness. As human beings mature into adults, they consciously become more and more aware of their heart\u2019s inner despondency and strive to satiate it through various means. The most prominent way of course is by relating to others. Recognize here again that you personify with loneliness and eagerness while if you identify them with the devil then you and him are not the same person(ality).<\/p>\n
This can really only be done in true awareness, but to see it in this way is easier for you to understand. When I say the devil chose your bride\/husband, some will get a smile on their face and say : very true haha\u2026others will say no: I have my soul mate(don\u2019t you think that those who say \u201cvery true\u201d, started out to say the same you do?)<\/p>\n
Let me explain something important here, the soul has 3 levels: spiritual, mental and physical and the devil houses in those lower two, as male and female that have to become one, feeling needs to become wise. And because you focus(ed) on the material and mental you took it to mean in a material and mental way and made them your slave.<\/p>\n
Now another important point, god is all knowing, all wise, not only you but the devil too turned away from god, and like god\u2019s guidance in your life many are not often aware of it, been also done through the devil, yes he too could not be without god, the devil lives in an illusion too. In his seeking he creates patterns and eventually you start to recognize these patterns and you learn and fall again and learn again until you really start to see that you really sold 2\/3 of your soul to the devil. But this one part, this trinity set boundaries, created a system that would eventually lead you back to him.<\/p>\n
But pay attention I do not say there is no such thing as a soul mate, I say there are, two that need to be joined to enter into the one. Even those who laughed earlier saying \u201ctrue\u201d need to understand in this breaking up of this relationship there lies great treasures, lessons to assist in your growth, if you have developed eyes to see and ears to hear, and that the unity that you can have with a partner can be this great experience of gifts, growth and beauty if gods become alive in you. You will then awaken in the garden realizing god forgave you.<\/p>\n
The philosopher Plato is often credited with the \u201csoul mate theory\u201d. He said that prior to birth a perfect soul was split into \u201cmale and female\u201d, and that to be complete they must find each other and \u201creunite their souls\u201d. That explanation fosters the notion that there\u2019s only one person in the world who can truly be my \u201csoul mate\u201d. Furthermore, it implies that there\u2019s only one person in the whole world you could be happily married to, and therefore only one person with whom you can be \u201ctruly happy\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Bible guides on different levels \u201clooking in the right direction!\u201d is the first layer, the outer story, there is not \u201cone right choice\u201d for marriage, but rather good and bad choices. You are encouraged to use wisdom, not destiny, as your guide when choosing a marital partner.<\/p>\n
Consider, for example, Paul\u2019s advice in 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 . He clearly leaves the choice of marriage up to you; there are benefits to singleness, and benefits to being married. If you\u2019re unable to handle sexual temptation as a single, Paul says, then by all means, get married. There is no hint at all of finding \u201cthe one person\u201d that God created \u201cjust for you\u201d. It\u2019s far more a pragmatic choice: do you think you\u2019ll sin sexually if you don\u2019t get married (1 Corinthians 7:2)? Are you acting improperly toward a woman you could marry (1 Corinthians 7:36 )? If so, go ahead and get married, it\u2019s your choice, and God gives you that freedom. Remember also that you find and come across what you need.<\/p>\n
Proverbs takes the same approach: \u201cA wife of noble character, who can find?\u201d (31:10, NIV). This passage has been hilariously misunderstood as being directed toward women, but the verse you\u2019ve just read makes it clear that Proverbs 31 was written mostly for young, single men, telling them, \u201cThis is what you want to look for in a wife\u201d. And the top thing to consider is this: \u201cCharm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised\u201d (Proverbs 31:30). The Bible is telling young men to search for a woman of character; looks won\u2019t last, but character never leaves. Note here that character is still personality but on this level as guidance for on the way.<\/p>\n
I can speak from experience: nothing compares to being married to a godly woman. Nothing! But there is also nothing more tedious and exhausting than being married to a narcissist, or a selfish woman. But they come on your path for a reason but could for each be different in lessons to be learned so the two become one.<\/p>\n
The search for \u201cthe one\u201d is often an idolatrous pursuit, you must believe that your primary meaning comes from your relationship with God: \u201cSeek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness\u2026\u201dMatthew 6:33, emphasis added). Thus, you should not consider any marital union that would not feed this primary relationship with God. You\u2019ll bring misery into your life if you ignore this command.<\/p>\n
But also, just as importantly you should not enter into a marriage expecting more than another human can give. If your wife looks to you to be God for her, to love her like only God can love her, you\u2019ll fail every time and on every count. You\u2019ll be trying, but you fall short every day. Tragically, I see too many young people wanting to get married in order to find this God-acceptance and God-love. Infatuation can initially feel like it approaches this God-love, but eventually it fades, disillusionment sets in, and the once \u201cfabulous\u201d relationship soon becomes an excruciating prison, therefore open up for this truth.<\/p>\n
Can I suggest a more biblical pattern? Instead of following Plato in pursuit of our soul mate, we should seek to find a biblical \u201cright partner\u201d. Such partner is someone who walks with you as together you apply biblical love. The most accurate definition of true love is found in John 15:13: \u201cGreater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
This love is not based on feelings, but on sacrifice. The Bible calls men to act like martyrs toward their wives, laying down their own lives on their wives\u2019 behalf (Ephesians 5:25). Love is not an emotion; it\u2019s a policy and a commitment that we choose to keep. Such a love is not based on the worthiness of the person being loved \u2014 none of us deserve Christ\u2019s sacrifice! \u2014 but on the worthiness of the One who calls us to love: \u201cWe love because he first loved us\u201d (1 John :4:19).<\/p>\n
When partners appreciate that marriage is a school of character. Clement of Alexandria, an early church father (ca. 150-215), captures this thinking marvellously when he writes, \u201cThe prize in the contest of men is shown by him who has trained himself by the discharge of the duties of marriage; by him, I say, who in the midst of his solicitude for his family shows himself inseparable from the love of God.\u201d Clement asks, who wins the prize? Not the couple displaying the most emotion, with the biggest smiles on their faces, or who can\u2019t keep their hands off each other; but rather, the women or men who, through the duties and sacrifice of marriage, have trained themselves to love with God\u2019s love. They live out the gospel on a daily basis, forgiving, serving, and putting others first in the most ordinary issues of life in such a way that they see themselves in training for godliness.<\/p>\n
That means a sacrificial mind-set marked by generosity, kindness, and mercy for your partner certainly is your soul mate, your precious sister in Christ.<\/p>\n
A biblical soul mate who walks in this truth, who daily travels God\u2019s journey of sacrificial love, and who willingly goes \u201cinto training\u201d for godliness is a far more stable foundation upon which to build a lifelong partnership than the emotional attraction. \u201cGreater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends\u201d. This may not sound like the most exciting or emotional love, but it is certainly closer to love.<\/p>\n
In number language Yin and Yang\/Male and female, is 96 and as you might remember Daath is 33.<\/p>\n
Therefore 33 x 96 is 3168 Christ.<\/p>\n
