Question
Is it possible to totally screw up and forfeit your chance to be with the person you were meant to be with?

About Me
- Name: Marie
- Location: Virginia, United States
I trusted in the Messiah, Jesus, when I was about 13 years old, and it's been an interesting learning experience ever since. I have a heart for people and their well-being -- both in flesh and blood and soul and spirit. I'm very tentative and have a hard time speaking my mind about hard issues unless I lose my temper (and then it usually comes out wrong, of course), and I love learning more about God and His Word. I have learned there's no better place to turn when I go through hard times than His Word and my knees. I also love writing, if you'd like to see some of the songs that have been written, go here: http://understandingthereason.blogspot.com/2006/10/my-songs-archive.html

I think it depends on... how you determine that you're supposed to be together.
Case 1: It's based on your gut feeling that no matter what, you two were meant to be together. In this case... yes, I think you can screw it up. Because people are human and humans make mistakes. Soemtimes... I don't think it's even one or the other's fault. Sometimes... no matter how much you really do believe you were meant to be together... it just doesn't work out. No concrete reason, it just -doesn't-. Those are the worst.
Case Two: You believe a higher power brought you two together. In this case... no. You can't screw it up because it's not YOURS to screw up; it's God's. And if he decides you're not meant to be together, then you simply weren't meant to be together.
At least, that's my two cents... but what do I know?
I'd say no. If the person is the one you are MEANT to be with-- planned since before time-- then you can't "totally screw it up." And what I've seen is that the ones we THINK we are "meant to be with"... rarely are.
aww you have blogspot? thats awesome! :-D
Jewel's totally right. If the relationship is God-ordained, He will see it through. I totally believe that God has someone for you, and I totally believe that He'll work it out. The only way you could miss that is if you were totally not listening to Him, and I know you better than that.
Oh, and even if you aren't listening, He tends to provide second chances. (and sometimes third...and fourth...) So basically, don't worry Ree. God will take care of you.
I think it's possible to screw it up. God knows who you will end up with, but I think that's rarely the person He intended you to end up with. If it were, I don't believe the rate of Christian divorce would be as high as outside the church.
How often have you sinned knowingly? God willed that you not sin, and you messed it up. God might have willed for you to have something that you would have gotten by following Him, and you didn't get it.
I believe He can and does give second chances, but I don't believe it's right to say that if it's meant to be, it will be and there's no way to mess it up.
