SOULMATES...............?
I, like most women my age grew up fantasizing about the concept of a "soulmate" or the concept of finding "the one." Between Cinderella, Pretty Woman and similar themed movies, I dont think we are to blame. But I am now a little older and I recently got a completely new perspective on this topic. For me, more specifically, I am a former subscriber to this notion that in all of the world, there is ONE GUY whom I will one day meet, and everything will just make sense, he will LOVE AND ADORE everything about me, even the weird and slightly creepy stuff. He would be my....soulmate. And of course rises the question, where is he? Because if the ONE was living in a small uncivilized people group in southern Australia, I might be doomed to search forever. And here is a few reasons why this idea is so prevalent:
1. It makes us feel warm and fuzzy.
2. It leaves us exactly the way we are. No reason to ever improve myself because my "soulmate" will find me PERFECT the way I am.
3. It gives us an easy cop out/escape route for when things get hard. This is one of the reasons why people accept divorce, because who is going to argue with a reason like "turns out she/he wasn't my soulmate"
The problem is....... this is misleading. At least in my opinion. When two people meet and decide to get married, and they are both seeking God and Holiness together, being soulmates... is not a requirement, even being romantically in love with the butterflies in their tummy is not a requirement. The requirement is that they Love God and are committed to Him, and they love one another, which is easy because if they are both Christians they are required to love all people anyway.
I also havent seen anything in the bible that supports this idea.
(Even though I am young and very single)I believe that marriage is a unique miracle where you have 2 different people with different ideas and experiences, uniting and becoming one, and raising a family together. I think it is incredible, therefore incredibly difficult, and the very idea of having a soulmate to me, takes away from that, making people believe that if its the right person you won't have to work hard at ANYTHING AT ALL. #LIES
In the interest of keeping it short and sweet, thats all I will say on the topic. I am Ayo and I no longer believe in a soulmates.
Feel free to comment on this article...do you agree...... disagree...why?

Letter from God Part2
I apologize for not posting the rest of this up sooner.
I am able to do more for you and rejoice over you. I am so happy about how my Son has redeemed your life that I sing songs of love over you(Zephaniah 3:17). Listen to the song I am singing and you will know how much I love you.
I am not unaware of the battle against you, a battle between light and darkness. Let me fight your battle. Let me keep you sade, but you must keep close to me. I have won the bathe for your life with My Son, so you should never allow regrets of your past to be tools in Satan’s hands to defeat you, as I have already conquered them. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence and I will not cease in victory until I have purified and perfected you because I will not let you settle for less than Me. (Philippians 1:6)
You cannot do it alone (John 15:5); I never created you to be able to. Realize today that restoration is your portion from Me. I restore your soul; your heart, your emotions, your puriy, and every other part of your life (Psalms 23:3)
Let me restore you today. Let me elevate your body of death and let me transform your mind. Let me love you. I love you now. I love you then, I love you forever. Come to me
Sincerely,
God, The All Sufficient One.
