Every single man and woman may want a lot of things. But deep in their hearts the only thing that really matters most is finding that one true love. In this world full of strangers, how can two people find each other? Well, it sounds like the line of a song, but how can you really tell if the two of you are really meant for each other? How would you know if you are the better half made by God to complement somebody? Would you really find your soul mate? How can you find the answers to all these questions? It seems impossible. Some say it is fate…some say it is destiny.
I love attending weddings because this occasion culminates the long unending search for your one true love. The newlyweds bind themselves to love and to hold in richer and in poorer, in sickness and in health till death do they part. It’s a vow made by them in front of all the witnesses, most especially to God. They made a covenant, a commitment, which should not be broken.
How you wish you could be on that situation as well, hence the unending search would now be over. But then, that would not always be the case for everybody’s love story. Some would go that way, but with others, it could somehow be a “tragedy”. What if you were able to find somebody but then in the end, the relationship did not go well? You would go crazy thinking if that was really your fate or destiny. You would ask yourself on how life could be so unfair. And on that very moment, you learn to gather the broken pieces of your whole being and undertake that unending search once more.
It would not be an easy task to do. Our brokenness caused by that tragedy would sometimes take much time to be healed. The pains and the hurts remain. Sometimes we may think that we were able to move on but then there will be occasions, people, places, things or even just the songs you hear over the radio that would remind you of all the tragic things that happened. The memories of those good and bitter moments still linger. It’s like bringing back the dead. You would remember again… cry again… and feel the sorrow of the tragedy once more. It may feel like a bittersweet death.
How could it be that you have found love but lost it in the end? Love found…. love lost…. Well, we may never know when we will find love again. We have to believe it is a never-ending cycle. Maybe if we have lost love at some point, that was really not the love that God has prepared for us. There may be something better, somebody who would really give the love that we deserve. Maybe that somebody we once loved was not after all our soul mate, or our fate, or our destiny, whatever you call it.
Really finding true love may seem an enormous task. We have to hold on to God’s promise as He declared in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
So we have to believe in God’s promise. Let go and let God because for sure there will be greater things in store if we let God’s plan rule over our lives. As my favorite motto says: If it’s meant to be, it will be. We just have to wait, and trust, and love again!
