The Original Matchmaker

 And His name is God. You are born with a purpose. Someone else is made right for you to complete you. Problem is, do you think your match is in your hands or God's? I get this article from another source and I actually relate to it. Entrust God to find a match for you, and these are how you can do it.

1. Embrace your present situation as coming from the very hands of God. Whether the moment is good or bad, praise the Lord. Do not question it but embrace it. God loves you and has a plan for you. God will not allow something to happen to you that won’t benefit the salvation of your soul.

2. Count your blessings. Just as we all have rainy days, we also have sunny days. Do not take your blessings for granted. Every single one comes from above.

3. Prepare your soul by making it clean from venial sins. Just as we take time to do a little extra house cleaning before a special guest arrives, so it is important to do regular cleaning when it comes to matters of the soul. Make room for God in your soul by getting rid of the clutter, including venial sins.

4. Work on your relationship with God. There is always room for improvement. He loves you and thirsts for your love.

5. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Make daily prayer a priority. It could be something as easy as praying the Our Father as you begin your morning commute or five decades of the Holy Rosary or spending some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament before you go home. It may even involve daily Mass. Whichever way you choose to pray, do it daily. Offer your personal intentions up to God.

6. Allow God Almighty to show you the person He has reserved for you if you are being called to the vocation of marriage. Do not get impatient or stressed about it. God’s timing is perfect. God is in control of the things you cannot control. Let Him be your matchmaker. He knows what is best for you. Do your part, but keeping asking God to show you the right mate. He is in the miracle business.

7. Pray for God’s will to take place in your life. Yes, this is the most difficult step. But it is vital. The best thing that we can do for ourselves is to embrace and conform to God’s holy will for us. The reward in heaven is greater than anything we can imagine.

 Can the hands that created you be WRONG? He can't. All weaknesses belong to us. All glory belongs to Him :)

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
