PDA

View Full Version : Does God really have a partner for us?


prov3108
Apr 29th 2009, 07:24 AM
My boyfriend recently broke up with me and it has been one of the most devastating periods of my life. We loved each other dearly but there were a lot of problems, mostly caused by my insecurity and his inability to reassure me of his commitment to me (he says he's not a very expressive person, I'm not sure). The thing is that I was so sure that he was the love of my life. I know it sounds cheesy but we were perfect in every way, except that he is Catholic and I'm Christian. I know Catholics can also be Christians, and I know that he loves God. He's not so sure about the Catholic teaching on the body and blood of Christ. I'm not quite sure what this teaching really is. He says that he probably doesn't believe in it. But he seems to love God, to the extent that he could since they don't have this conception of a personal relationship with God.

Anyway, now that it is over, I feel like I should have tried harder to bridge the gap between us rather than fighting with him all the time. I did pray to God about the relationship, I must confess sometimes I asked him to make it work, rather than seek His will. Do you think God is punishing me for loving my boyfriend too much? Do you think that He is punishing me for being unequally yoked? Does He really have a plan for all of us, including finding a partner for us? I am tired of being alone.

I believe God gives us choices.
Some bad, some good, some better, some best.

God wants us to learn to choose what is best.

We long for something and try to fill that space for God with things, power, and people.

Everything we put before and above God causes him to be rightfully Jealous, because He Loves us and we are His.

One of the places where many people fail is that they are not in the actual relationship they are in.

They are in a relationship in their heads, your just getting to know someone which takes time but are willing to get emotionally and physically closer because they feel closer then they should because of the fantasized relationship that is going on in their head.

Some have kids names picked out and what kind of home and dog they will have together all dreamed out in there heads.

When the reality of the true relationship sets in they feel the loss of the dream as well as the real pain of the brokenness of the emotional and physical connection that was allowed to grow to their own injury.

God is looking to discipline, He is looking for change, He is looking for us to stop hurting ourselves and live in reality and seek to live in what is His best.

Hope this helps

God Keep You
