In the beginning God created Adam. God intended this human, created in his own image, to be in relationship with God. But he soon realized that this new creature needed another human to be complete, and so he created Eve. Men and women have been confusing each other ever since.
The world needs men and women to be balanced. We crave each other because we have strengths and weaknesses that compliment and supplement where the other is lacking. Having a mix of people makes every situation fuller and more interesting, because we each bring our own perspective to the social table.
For most of us, that culminates in a relationship with that one special person, the one who completes the picture for us, fills in the blank spots, dulls the rough edges of life. We know when it happens, that lightning strike moment when we suddenly see someone in a different way, and realize that we are no longer want to be without them.
Some people are fortunate and find that person early. They spend their lifetime together, growing and maturing and working towards the common goals that will get them where they want to be. Some people come to it later, when life has taken its toll. But whenever it comes, your life changes, and you are made new in your relationship with that person. Anything is possible, everything is possible. Most people have had that experience, and it is wonderful.
Although each relationship is different, God created us for our soul mate. He has a perfect match for us, even when we are imperfect, and if we let him lead us, we will eventually find that person that fills our heart in a way no one else can.
Today I am grateful for my soul mate. He has brought joy and laughter and love into a heart that had big holes in need of repair. He fills my spirit with comfort, and fills my soul with shared faith. God knew what I needed before I did, and led me straight home.
