How do we recognise our soulmate?

SOULMATE. The word rings nicely in our ears. We all want someone we can live with happily ever after. We all want to feel that “God’s in His heaven, all’s right with the world”. But when we look at everything going on around us it is easy to lose our focus.

How do we recognise our own true soulmate?

I know that I was married to my soulmate. He was not rich or good-looking, but he had a heart of gold and treated me with the utmost kindness. He was totally reliable and I always knew that I could trust him. He held down a dynamic job and was well-liked and respected by everyone he knew. He did all the shopping and cooked for me almost every night. I will always have good memories of him.

My friend, Vera*, is also a very fortunate woman. She is of Danish descent and has their typical blonde hair, blue eyes and startling good looks. She has a stunning personality and a very warm heart. There is only one possible drawback: she is very fat. But her boyfriend is head over heels in love with her and for him there will never be any other woman.

So for all of us who have preconceived ideas about what our soulmate should look like or what they should own, think again. Our Creator is our actual matchmaker, and if he has organised a match for you, it does not matter whether this person is tall or short, fat or thin, rich or poor, black or white. When we KNOW we have met our soulmate, nothing else matters. When we KNOW we have met this person we need to get down on our knees and thank our Maker for all He has given us.
