Soulmates

This isn't your common everyday Christian doctrinal belief. The concept of the "soulmate" comes from the Eastern teaching that for each "soul" there is one specific "partner soul" -- hence the term "mate".

The more common and traditional teaching involves the journey of two souls across various lifetimes culminating in the life when these two souls -- predestined to be with one another -- meet and become one either by marriage or by death.

But in todays Christian world, we have come to realize that soulmates do exist -- and that not only is this belief not un-Christian -- but it actually finds its perfect definition in the relationship of an Omnipotent God with His Church and every individual soul that belongs to it.

Take it from Genesis. God created all things before He created Man. One way of looking at this is that He was so pleased with His work that He wanted to share it with someone, and THAT someone was Man. Another way of looking at it though is that God created all things so that Man, His Soulmate, would come into a world prepared just for Man.

Soulmates seek what is best for the other. In preparing the world for Mankind, God clearly set the stage for the concept of soulmates.


Soulmates are willing to look beyond each others faults. In continually forgiving Man for his sin, God clearly stated that He was always open to receiving Man with all his faults.


Soulmates always understand. God became man - as human as you and I - He felt every emotion, every pain, every joy - everything that man feels. He understands.

Soulmates exist because God exists.

He knows our needs - he knows our wants. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses. Our joys and sufferings, our triumphs and pains.

He knows. And He knows who we need beside us for each and every eventuality.

Thus you - and I - we are always a soulmate to someone at any time. God placed us on this earth to be a soulmate - a blessing - to those to whom we are sent.

And who are we sent to?

To our families: our spouses, our children, our siblings and parents - all of whom needed us, need us, and will need us in their lives.

To our friends and neighbors: people in the street, people at school, at work, at play. The guy in the next car, or on the escalator ahead of you. You never know when he or she will need somebodys' help. You could be there - the right person at the right time - for them.

To those we minister to: Community members, parishioners, cell group members, household members, action group members. Our ministering could be what they need when they feel dry in their spiritual lives, or when they feel God is far away.

Yes, Soulmates exist - because God exists. And He exists in us.

When the soul next to you is in need of a soulmate for whatever reason - will you be ready to be a soulmate to that person?

God made His choice. He knew we needed Him if we were ever to have the hope of entering the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus he chose to be a Soulmate to us all.
