Answer these questions: Who IS the the one? Did you set up a criteria to measure “the one?" Is
it dependent on what measuring stick you’re using
Is your idea of the one based on that romance book or romantic comedy you watched?
Is it based on where YOU want to go in life that you’re looking for someone to fit a profile along your life's vision?
Who truly is the ONE?
In a previous Podcast episode titled Would I date I me I asked critical questions about the individual that you should check out if you haven’t yet before you continue reading.
Why? Before you can know who is “qualified" to be your 'person' and share life with you, you need to understand yourself first.
Once you do then you will have a better understanding about who can share a space with you. Another podcast episode I covered that is critical in explaining this is Can I do Life with you? Check it out also.
Once you have established who you are, you can now determine who can do life with you. In that episode I speak about compatibility versus chemistry and why God made Eve for Adam and the qualities He gave her so that she Could be THE OnE for Adam.
Once you have an understanding of who you are and the vision you have for your life you are likely to know and identify who your ONE is.
Then there’s confirmation from God, always seek your creator who knows ALL things before making such life decisions. Ask Him for the signs.
Pay attention to the person, date them, 'study' them and don’t be afraid to wipe off some dust off the package they come in because even THE One is a work in progress. That’s where compatibility comes in, where he is weak you are strong so that means you have what it takes to dust him off and help him grow as you grow and vice versa.
The scripture Proverbs 27:17, “iron sharpens iron,” is almost universally seen as positive: wise people should be questioning, encouraging, coaching, and challenging each other.
Lastly, you can be yourself and be comfortable around that person.
So how do you know who is the one? Have a relationship with God so that you can understand who He created you to be.
Get a good understanding of yourself.
Pray and ask Him to send the one and have knowledge and vision of who is suitable for you like God created EVe to be suitable for Adam. He knows you the best so He obviously knows who suits you and lastly when you find such person you will be comfortable with being you around them and you can make them feel that comfort as well.
Please note that sometimes there maybe some tests and challenges in the beginning and along the way so be prepared to 'wipe some dust off' that person for where they are weak you will be strong and vice versa and so 'iron will sharpen iron' as you take on life together as a team!
C’est bon? Sounds good!
