God Gave Me You.

"God Gave Me You"

We've all probably heard this song, sang by Blake, to his lovely wife Miranda. 

It's a song written by a man about his wife. 

But also a song thanking God for creating them for each other. 

It's a beautiful, and sweet song. 

Many of us have set the lyrics as our facebook statuses.

We have the ringtone, and we text the lyrics to our sweeties. 

Cutsie stuff.

But has anyone ever stopped to think of what it really means?

Think of the power behind the statement?

God gave me you...

I did.

While laying in bed this morning, God put that line of the song on my heart.

And the power in those words resonated in my heart.
God created us for each other.
We were made with one significant other in mind.
He made us so that we could complete the other.
Soulmates.


Genesis 2:18-24

¹⁸ The LORD God said, 

“It is not good for the man to be alone.

 I will make a helper suitable for him.”

 ¹⁹ Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. 

He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; 

and whatever the man called each living creature,

 that was its name. 

²⁰ So the man gave names to all the livestock, 

the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

   But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 

²¹ So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; 

and while he was sleeping, 

he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 

²² Then the LORD God made a woman 

from the rib he had taken out of the man, 

and he brought her to the man.

 ²³ The man said,

   “This is now bone of my bones 

   and flesh of my flesh; 

she shall be called ‘woman,’ 

   for she was taken out of man.”

 ²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

I could use so many other verses to try and relate to this post.
But this one just seemed to be the one God kept leading me to.
It's the perfect example of how we are literally created for one another to be a partner.
Woman was created for man, to walk by his side, and help him.

Each of us have someone God created us for.
And on God's time in God's way, we will find that person.
And that person will give meaning to
"When you know you know"

Dear Lord,
Thank you for putting this on my heart. It has given me such a greater understanding on what love truly means. What is really is to find that one person you have created me for. The person that I am to complete. There is such a power and a beauty behind that. Help to open my eyes and my heart to receive that person. Help me to receive them and to walk side by side with them all the days of my life. 
Thank you. I love you. Amen.
