Via dolarossa: Mathematically speaking the probability of meeting that one person who is right for you is pretty darn good. There are billions of people on this planet, and I believe that there is someone for everyone. With billions of possibilities, there's a good chance that you will find true love, and, as in many cases, it will come when you least expect it and with a person that you never pictured yourself with. My tendency has always been to view people from the inside out, meaning that I never judge a book by its cover. Had I limited myself to getting to know others based upon some mental ideal of what my ultimate mate should look like, I would have ended up looking in all the wrong places and at all the wrong people. So, I've always tried see what kind of heart the other person has first and foremost. This is the part of your mate that you will end up having to live with for the rest of your life. Long after physical looks have faded or altered, the heart and personality endure. Since this is sometimes a more elusive thing to be able to detect with our limited human senses and intellect, this is where trusting the Lord becomes important. God knows the heart of others, and thus He is the only one who knows if the other is right for you. With prayer, you can ask God to reveal to you where the other person's heart truly is, and thus be reassured that what the other person is emulating is in fact their true self. When God matched me to my husband, the things we ended up later discovering that we had in common were absolutely astounding. To date, I am still in awe of the intricate detail of how well my husband and I mesh together in countless ways. Not a day goes by that I do not still thank God for sending me this wonderful priceless gift. And, the strangest thing of all is that I was not seeking a mate at the time, but one day woke up with a voice within me planting the seed of the idea that today I should search for a husband. Just like that - out of the blue. I had no intention of ever marrying. I am SO happy that I obeyed that little voice that day. As it turns out, had I not acted that very day, I would never have connected with my husband. I had a narrow window of mere hours within which to act, and I am so happy that I did.
