Do you believe that there is only one person out there for you? I am speaking to the singles today (but the married people can comment if they want). So do you? Well I guess the real question I should be asking you is...... Do you believe in free will or in predestination? Sounds like a heavy question hey. Maybe it is, but we all relate to it daily whether knowingly or unknowingly. So.... back to the point. If we say free will, well then it will be difficult to say that we believe that there is one person out there for you only. For Example, let's say your "one " person that you never met yet, decided to walk in the street one day and just happened to be knocked by a bus and got herself killed (and these things do happen simply because we have the evidence). You as a man would be doomed to singleness but a single act that was not even made by you (unless you were the bus driver of course). Where would that leave you, since she was the only one. Consolation would be of course if you went for 2nd best, but who wants second best. So your options are either pray to the Lord to have her resurrected? Or as a friend of mine said, the Lord will raise a new one (ridiculous as that sounds). But if this were the case, then it would not fit into the free will story completely, but I will not go there for now. On a side note, there is one person out there for you (contradiction hey), but hear me out. His name is Jesus and you fit with Him perfectly....ha ha ha. Corny, but true. I think thats what we really mean when we go on our quest for "the one". We want someone to complete us, fix us and make all the trouble go away. I am exaggerating here, but to prove the point, don't you think? We would rather believe that than make a decision on our own and live with the consequences too. So let's say you married the "one" that God gave you and it goes horribly wrong, you then blame the one Who gave the person to you, won't you? Look, if you believe in predestination and not free will, then all this should not bother you, your one is on the way and you don't really need to think further than that. But if you do believe in free will, well then we sit with a dilemma in approaching "the one" theory. I guess what it comes down to is that there are plenty people you could have a good relationship and marriage with, just make a good decision. The one person out there theory is a bit pie in the sky for me..... I consider it a myth...... THO
