Waiting for the right person (Part 1)

Someone wrote on this as “10 reasons why ppl are single”  ((http://www.omgtoptens.com/bizarre/10-reasons-why-people-are-single/))

She smartly said several items we loners tend to bypass but, this one, deserves elaboration and it´s a topic I don´t think it´s exhausted:

“If you ask someone that they are single, the most probable answer you will get is that they are waiting for the right person in their life. So, given by the mob of single persons this happens to be one of the top reasons why people are single. They are waiting for their dream partners. Someone they can look forward to and spend the rest of their lives. They may come across many people daily but their Mr/Miss right have certain specifications which they have made in mind and they are waiting for the day they will get them. Till then they are enjoying their happy single lives.”

How long does it take me to know loneliness sucks?

How long does it take me to see I´m wasting useful time passing that bucket to God´s busy hands?

Let me say, as a secular believer that God could care of my body needs (Mat 6:31  Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?" Mat 6:32  Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these.) But, if those things you know are still pending and missing, won´t you care?

I have read, more than a dozen times, “God is in charge”, “God would care of His loves ones”, “God takes everything in control” but, it seems to be that I´m leaving my life burden on Him, when He planned to carried on with His cross, as a disciple (Mat 11:30  This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.)

 Is God my slave? Am I, instead?

“10 reasons why I´m single” points out I must assume personal responsibilities on “matchmaking”.

In fact, the Bible shows Isaac´s dad took personal care to get his child a wife.

Jacob, particularly, worked 14 years to marry Rachel, although Laban tricked him an awful way I won´t consider “culture” as a reason to lie or lure ppl that way.

Tobias, in a Catholic book, also showed he had issues to be married (Tob. 8:8-10).

Where does God have your Mr. / Mss. Right?

Is it a gift of God?

Pro 18:22  A man's greatest treasure is his wife-- she is a gift from the LORD.

This shows a Jewish opinion on similar matters:

Somewhere above it says: “As long each man remains single, God´s presence isn´t with him, since God´s presence –for men- is a wife (His wife) ”

“The woman is, for the man, the concrete emanation of divinity.”

But, is there anybody OUT THERE to teach me what I´m doing too wrong?

What are those things I have wrong, those that I need to correct to be blessed by God and a woman?
