View Profile History	the guy God has for you... Posted : 3 Sep, 2010 11:37 PM Hi Rabbit, Honestly it just came to my mind recently. And, the worst is.. It is not something that changeable. For example, age, height, race, etc. Well, for me personally, it is a very very difficult question if it turns out that the guy God chose for me is below my expectations. I would say it would be something that I would find it not easy to go through yet I have to. Would face no problem at all if the guy exceeds my expectations. Not mainly depends on who it is but when our expectations do not meet, we as human normally would be put some reactions, whether it is disappointed, surprised, angry, happy, sad, thankful, etc. As I reviewed back with men I have met in my life, for me the most important thing is his faith. If his faith impresses me and I am sure that he is the right one, I dare to be committed to him, not saying that it would be always smooth, but as my post before about growing in love, love can grow and it needs commitment from both side to make it work. I want to please God always, and I am a committed person as well. So if the guy is below my expectation, then I would be committed to love him no matter what, with the grace of God also for both of us. Hope that answer it =) Blessings. Post Reply

cmseeker10 View Profile History	the guy God has for you... Posted : 4 Sep, 2010 05:55 AM As a human being ,there's always the feeling of " Lord please not him you know he is not what I want" I for one would be lying if I say I't s ok....But if we really accept in our heart that God's plan is the best for us and love Him more than we love ourselves then I't would be easy to accept it.... It's funny sometimes because ,we pray so hard for a mate ,and when HE give us the exact opposite of what we desired tendency is we back out..Father not our will but yours be done..Hope that make sense... God Bless Post Reply

Posted : 4 Sep, 2010 09:54 PM Well, if God says this is the man, then either my hearing is messed up, my comprehension is fritzed, or my expectations are not what they need to be. At this point, it would be necessary to ensure that I am hearing God and truly comprehending him. If I am and my expectations are what are not in line, then it seems I am looking at a change. God has yet to steer me wrong. He once asked me to give up my career, leave my family, my home, my country, church, friends, everything and go to live where he wished. When I arrived in the new country I had almost $5 to my name and no place to live nor job to earn more money. However, God sent me and so he took care of me. I never did without. It was a wonderful way to live...depending on God for every morsel of food and drop of water. So if God says this is the man...let the celebration begin. It will be a wonderful union. Post Reply
View Profile History	the guy God has for you... Posted : 5 Sep, 2010 06:01 PM I believe that God has blessed & ordained marriage but it is not a stated we are forced into. I don't believe God chooses a man or woman for us & then we have no choice in the matter. I also don't believe we should ask God for what we want in a man/woman, then sit in our living room & wait for him/her to ring the doorbell. As we go about our daily life, learning to live in our 'now', & enjoying our singleness, we will meet people. As people strike our fancy & get our attention, the Holy Spirit will lead, if we allow Him, into all truth & help us make a wise decision. I don't know how many times that still small voice has said "No" to relationships cause I asked Him if it was a good choice. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to the natural or spiritual warnings when I chose to marry my ex. I can't be too sorrowful thou, cause I've got my three babies from the union. I have no fear that God will lead me to a guy I don't want. When our ways please Him, He gives us the desires of our heart. Either He will give me just what I ask for or in His position as my Father, He will cause my desire to be for the guy He ordains for me. But through it all, I recognize my power of choice & how He chooses not to overthrow my will. Post Reply

Posted : 5 Sep, 2010 09:59 PM Maybe if the person god has for you dosnt match what you desire or want than your desires or wants are not godly and you should trust god that he has got the right person for you.... but im sure that might be hard to do sometimes, rabbit... right?

View Profile History	the guy God has for you... Posted : 6 Sep, 2010 02:38 AM I have never personally heard of someone trusting and depending on God to give them a spouse that they were unhappy with. The Word says that God knows how give good gifts to His children. I think there is also a level of maturity associated with what we ask for and want. If the majority of what someone wants in a mate is physical, then I would question the readiness of that person to be married. I don't know if God gives credence & consideration to the 'I want him to be 4 in or more taller than me, fashion model handsome, 6 pack with hard as rock pecs' requests. Post Reply
View Profile History	the guy God has for you... Posted : 6 Sep, 2010 01:42 PM This is something that has been on my mind recently. As humans, I believe that everyone has a picture in their minds of the "perfect" husband/wife. However, as Christians we need to learn to see everyone through the eyes of God. My solution has been to pray that I will be open to God's will, and that I will put His plan first in my life. It's not easy, but God's plan is infinitely better than anything I could plan on my own!
