The central message is that perceived delays or setbacks in finding a soulmate are not signs of divine neglect or punishment, but rather divine preparation and redirection. God is actively working behind the scenes to position individuals for a healthy, purposeful, and lasting relationship, ensuring they become the right person for their destined partner.

I need to tell somebody today, just
because it hasn't happened yet doesn't
mean it's not coming. Just because you
haven't met them doesn't mean they're
not moving toward
you. I came to tell
you, your soulmate will show up soon.
But here's the question. Will you still believe
believe
it even when it looks like nothing's
happening? I know you've prayed. I know
you've waited. I know you've cried some
nights wondering where's the one. But
what if I told you God is not ignoring
you, he's preparing
you. Because if you receive the blessing
too early, it can break you. But when
the timing is
divine, it will build
you. Your soulmate will show up soon.
And when they do, it won't feel like a
guessing game. It will feel like a God
thing. You've been asking God why it
feels like nothing's happening. Why
every relationship keeps falling
through. Why every connection starts
with fire and ends with confusion. And
if we're honest, if we're real for a
second, it's starting to feel like maybe
love just isn't in the cards for
you. But what if I told you today, God
is not withholding love from you to punish
punish
you. He's protecting you from what your
eyes can't
see. Yeah. See, we think that when
something doesn't work out, it's a
rejection. But what if it's actually
redirection? What if it's God stepping
in and saying, "You don't see what I
see. You're looking at the surface, but
I see what's under the surface. I see
what's coming 5 years from now, and I
love you too much to let you settle for
someone who doesn't have the capacity to
carry where I'm calling you." Let's make
it plain. Imagine you're at a restaurant
and you're hungry, like really hungry.
You haven't eaten all day. You sit down,
you're eyeing the menu, and the waiter
comes by and says, "I'm sorry, but your
meal is going to take a little longer to
prepare." Now, you could get upset. You
could get impatient. You could say,
"Forget it. Just bring me the fastest
thing you can find." And yeah, sure,
you'll get something quickly, but it
won't be what you came for. it won't be
what satisfies you. And some of us are
dating like that. We're ordering quick
fixes because we don't want to wait on
God's best. We're choosing what's
available over what's actually meant for
us. But God is not a fast food provider.
He's the master chef preparing something
that will nourish your spirit, not just your
your
emotions. And when he says, "Not yet,"
it's not him withholding good things
from you. It's him making sure that when
the plate arrives, it's worth the wait.
Maybe the reason you haven't met the one
is not because God forgot about you, but
because he remembered every prayer you
whispered in your loneliness. Maybe he
remembered how you say, "God, protect my
heart." And maybe his answer to that
prayer is this delay.
Some of us are asking for God's best
while entertaining relationships that
drain our energy, confuse our peace, and
compromise our value. And when God
removes something or closes a door, it
feels like rejection. But what if it's
actually divine intervention? What if
it's not the absence of love, but the
evidence of it? Think back on your life.
I want you to take one moment and think
about a relationship you once
begged God to let work.
Think about the nights you stayed up
crying, praying he'd changed their
heart, praying they'd come back. And now looking
looking
back, you can thank God they didn't.
Why? Because you grew past
it. Because who you are
now would have never fit with who they
were then. That was protection in
disguise. That was love dressed like
loss. That was mercy in motion.
Protection doesn't always feel like
peace. It often feels like pain because
we're emotional beings. We get attached.
We dream big. We hope hard. But God
doesn't answer based on our feelings. He
responds from his foresight. He sees who
they really are when the compliments
fade. When the chemistry wears off, when
life gets real, he knows if they're
truly equipped to handle your heart,
your calling, your insecurities, your dreams.
dreams.
That's not something you find out on a
first date. That's something only God
can see from the beginning. So when he
says no or not yet, trust that it's not
rejection. It's redirection with
purpose. It's protection that says I'm
saving you from a heartbreak that would
have taken you 5 years to heal from. Let
me say this plainly. The wrong person
can delay your destiny.
That's why God is so serious about who
he allows to access your heart. You're
not just anyone. You're chosen. You're
called. You've got too much purpose on
your life to be distracted by someone
who only sees your body and not your
spirit. And that's why this delay is
divine. I know it feels lonely
sometimes. I know weddings and
engagement announcements on social media
can hit hard. I know you're tempted to
think God forgot about you. But I dare
you to change your mindset. What if the
not yet is God saying, "I love you too
much to let you settle for someone who
doesn't love you like I do." So the next
time something doesn't work out, don't
automatically ask, "What's wrong with
me?" Start asking God, "What are you
protecting me
from?" Because when you start to trust his
his
no, you'll begin to recognize how
intentional his yes will be. And when
your soulmate does show up, and I
believe they
will, it won't be
forced. It won't be
confusion. It won't leave you
questioning your worth. It will feel like
like
peace, like safety, like purpose walking
in the
door because God didn't forget about
you. He's just been protecting you. And
that's what love really looks like.
You keep looking at your life wondering
why you're still single, why the
relationships don't last, why it seems
like everyone else is finding love while
you're just sitting in the waiting room
of your own story. And deep down there's
a whisper inside that says, "Maybe I'm
doing something
wrong. Maybe I missed
it. Maybe I'm being punished."
But what if I told you
today this isn't
punishment, this is positioning. God is
not punishing you by making you wait.
He's not keeping love away from you
because you're broken or unworthy. No,
he's positioning
you. He's placing you exactly where you
need to be. So when the right person
shows up, the connection isn't just emotional.
emotional.
It's divine. Think about a GPS. Have you
ever put in a destination and the GPS
reroutes you? You get frustrated. You
think, "Why are we going the long way?"
But what you don't realize is that the
GPS sees what you can't. It knows
there's construction ahead, an accident,
traffic that would delay you. The GPS
isn't trying to keep you from getting
there. It's trying to help you arrive
the best way possible. That's what God
is doing right now. He's rerouting your
steps, not to make you suffer, but to
save you from detours that could steal
your peace, delay your purpose, and
damage your heart. Every no you, thou ht
was a curse was actually him whispering,
"Not this way. I've got something
better." Let me bring it home with a
daily life example. Picture a woman
who's been waiting for love. She's been
faithful. She's done the healing. She's
grown. And along comes a man who checks every
every
box on paper. He's charming, stable,
successful, but something in her spirit feels
feels
off. Not wrong, just
off. And she has a choice. Pursue what's
available or trust God for what's
anointed. Now, the average person might
say, "Girl, go for it. You're not
getting any younger." But something deep
inside her says, "This isn't it.
So she lets it go, not because he was
bad, but because it wasn't
aligned. A year later, she meets someone
else. This one doesn't just check boxes.
He speaks to her
purpose. He doesn't just love her. He
values her growth. He doesn't just
pursue her. He prays with her. And
suddenly it all makes sense. That
earlier almost wasn't punishment. It was
positioning because the version of her
that would have settled for potential is
not the version of her now that's ready for
for
purpose. Can I preach this to somebody
today? The pause in your love life isn't
about what's missing. It's about what's
being molded. You are not falling
behind. You're being built up.
Every time you feel forgotten, every
time you feel overlooked, remind
yourself, God is positioning me for
someone who is also being prepared for
me. Because you don't just want love,
you want alignment. You don't just want
someone to do life with, you want
someone who brings out the life in you.
And that kind of
love, that kind of
divine connection, it takes time. It takes
takes
positioning. It takes God moving pieces
around that you can't even see right
now. Let's get real. Positioning is
uncomfortable. You see others get what
you've been praying for. You feel stuck
in a chapter that seems to go on
forever. But positioning often looks
like stillness, like being planted. And
anything that is planted doesn't look
powerful at first. It's buried. It's
hidden. But under the surface, things
are taking root. God is allowing your
roots to grow deep. So when your person
comes, your foundation won't shake. He's
aligning your heart, your purpose, your
emotional health, your faith. So when
love comes, it won't be another test you barely
barely
survive. It'll be a testimony you carry
with strength. So no, you're not being punished.
punished.
You're not invisible. You're not
positioned. And when God positions you,
he's not just thinking about now. He's
thinking about
forever. He's positioning you to be
ready, not just excited. To be stable,
not just swept off your feet. To be
chosen for the long run, not just picked
for the moment. If you're in a season
where nothing seems to be moving, where
the silence is heavy and your heart
feels weary, I want you to know God
you. He's placing
you strategically,
intentionally, lovingly.
You may not see it yet, but when it all
unfolds, you'll thank him for every door
he closed, every relationship he
blocked, every night you cried and didn't
didn't
understand. Because what's coming isn't
random. It's refined. You're not being
punished. You're being positioned. And
when it's time, what's meant for you
will not miss
you. Because God is never late. He's
just perfect in his placement. You've
been waiting and waiting and waiting.
You've had days where your faith felt
like fire and other days where it felt like
like
fog. You've believed God has someone for
you. But lately, the silence has been
louder than your hope. You've watched
other people fall in. Love, get married,
start families, and you're still sitting
in your own waiting season, wondering if
God skipped your name on the list. But I
came to tell you something today that I
pray breaks through the heaviness. The
weight is not wasted. It's working in your
your
favor. See, the world has trained us to
think that waiting is
weakness. That if it hasn't happened
fast, it's not going to happen at
all. We're addicted to instant. We want
quick results, quick breakthroughs,
quick love stories, but anything that's
built fast usually breaks just as fast.
And God doesn't build weak structures.
He builds with longevity in
mind. So if it feels like he's taking a long
long
time, it's because he's building
something strong, something
sacred, something real. Let me give you
a daily life example. Think about baking
a cake from scratch. Not from a box, not
from the microwave, but a real homemade
layered cake. You got to gather all the
ingredients. You've got to measure them
precisely. You got to preheat the oven.
You got to mix with care. Wait with
patience and let the heat do its job.
Now, imagine you take it out too early.
It looks done on the outside, but when
you cut into it, it's raw. It's not
ready. That's what rushing love will do
to you. It might look right on the
surface, but the foundation won't hold.
Some of you have been pulled into
relationships that looked beautiful in
the beginning, but collapsed under
pressure. Not because you're broken, not
because they were evil, but because it
wasn't fully baked. It wasn't time. And
when you pull something out of the oven
before it's ready, you rob yourself of
the fullness of what it could have been.
God isn't stalling. He's sustaining.
He's using this waiting season to do
more than just delay your love story.
He's deepening your roots, strengthening
your discernment, teaching you how to
hear his voice. So when your soulmate
does show up, you don't question their
presence. You recognize
it. That waiting, it's where character
is formed. That waiting, it's where
wisdom is born. That waiting, that's the
place where you stop settling for sparks
and start looking for substance.
Sometimes the most holy thing God will
do in your life is make you wait long
enough to outgrow what you once thought
you needed. I know that's not easy to
hear because waiting stretches your
emotions. It stretches your trust. It
stretches your
patience. But it also stretches your
capacity to receive what's greater than
what you
imagined. Waiting will make you tired.
tired.
Yes. But it will also make you wise. I
remember I remember a woman once told me
how in her 20s she wanted so badly to be
married. She begged God for a husband.
She was tired of going to weddings
alone. Tired of always being the friend.
But she didn't settle. And instead of
giving into loneliness, she chose to
lean into
purpose. She built a business. She
mentored young women. She worked on her
emotional health. She did the work while
she waited. Then in her late 30s, she
met the one. And not only did he love
her, he matched her maturity, her
mission, her
mindset. She told me later, "If God had
given me what I begged for in my 20s, I
would have missed out on the man who was
actually built for
me." That's what I mean when I say the
weight is working in your
favor. It's not a timeout. It's
training. It's not denial, it's
development. It's not punishment, it's
preparation. And if you knew what God
was protecting you from. If you could
see the heartbreak he averted, the
disappointment he blocked, the confusion
he cleared, your waiting would turn into
worship. Every day you wait is a day God
is writing something deeper into your
story. You're learning to choose peace
over pressure. You're learning to
distinguish real from fake. You're
learning that your worth isn't tied to
your relationship status, but to the one
who formed you in your mother's womb. So
don't confuse silence with
absence. Don't mistake waiting for
wasting. You're not
stuck. You're being
strengthened. The time will come when
all the prayers, all the tears, all the
quiet battles will make sense. You'll
look back and realize this wait wasn't a
detour. It was the direct path to your
destiny. Your soulmate will show up
soon. But don't forget, this season is
not just about them arriving. It's about
you becoming. And right now, even though
you can't see it, have you ever looked
around and felt like everyone is getting
blessed but you? Like God is handing out
miracles, breakthroughs, and
relationships to everybody except you.
And it makes you wonder, God, did you
forget about me? But let me tell you
something today that will shift your
whole perspective. God is working behind
the scenes. Even when it looks silent.
That silence, it's not empty. It's
sacred. Just because you don't see
movement doesn't mean heaven isn't in
motion. Just because you don't hear
anything doesn't mean God isn't speaking
over your life. You see, we think God
only works in the obvious, in the loud,
in the big miraculous, dramatic moments.
But the truth is God does his deepest
work in the hidden places, in the
quiet, in the stillness, in the places
where nobody's clapping and no one is
watching. The weight is working for you.
Let me show you something from daily
life. Think about a seed. When you plant
a seed, the first thing that happens is
nothing. At least not to the human
eye. You water it. You
wait. You stare at dirt. You show up day
after day and still nothing changes. And
if you didn't know better, you'd think
nothing was happening. But underground
in the soil, the seed is cracking open.
Roots are forming. Foundations are being
laid. The strength of that seed is being
built long before a single sprout ever
breaks the surface. And if you didn't
trust the process, you'd give up before
it ever bloomed.
Some of us are staring at the soil of
our lives, frustrated,
discouraged, tired. We're saying, "God,
where's the growth? Where's the promise?
Where's the love story you said you had for
for
me?" But what we don't realize is that
things are shifting beneath the surface.
Heaven is building something that can't
be rushed, something that can't be
microwaved, something that must be
developed. Because your soulmate isn't
just going to be someone who shows up
randomly. No, God is orchestrating
something too divine to be rushed. He's
moving in places you can't see, aligning
schedules, preparing hearts, healing
wounds, closing doors, opening new ones,
and maturing both you and them for
something real, something
holy. Think about how detailed God is.
The audience is sitting in silence. The
stage is covered. You can't see
anything. But behind that curtain,
there's chaos in a good way. People are
running around preparing, adjusting,
fixing lights, making sure every line is
perfect, every queue is in place. Why?
Because when the curtain
rises, the audience doesn't need to see the
the
preparation. They only need to witness
the final product.
That's what God is doing in your life
right now. You're sitting in what feels
like silence, but behind the curtain of
the seen world, God is setting up
something that's going to leave you
this." There's a divine setup happening
for your benefit. And it's the kind of
setup that makes you grateful for every
delay, every door that didn't open,
every person who walked away, every
season where you question if God was
even listening. Because when the right
person shows up, when your
soulmate enters the room, you'll see how
everything that felt like
silence was actually strategy. The truth
is, most of what God does in our lives
doesn't start with a bang.
It starts with a
whisper. It starts in the
quiet. It starts when nobody else sees,
but your spirit knows God is still [Music]
[Music]
here. You've got to learn to trust him
in the stillness. You've got to believe
that just because you don't have
proof doesn't mean he's not present.
Just because you don't have a ring
doesn't mean the
relationship isn't being written. Just
because you don't have the result
doesn't mean the promise is dead. Some
of you are standing in the middle of a
miracle, but it doesn't look like one
yet. You're being shaped in the dark so
you can shine in the
light. You're being stretched in secret
so you can stand in public.
You're being developed behind the
scenes. So when your soulmate shows up,
it's not just timing, it's divine
alignment. Don't despise the silence.
Don't let the quiet convince you that
nothing is happening. God does his best
work in places we don't understand
because when it's time when the curtain
finally lifts, you'll realize he wasn't
just preparing them for you. He was
preparing you for
them. So hold your head up.
Trust the
silence. Walk in faith. Because just
beyond what you can't see is the love
story God is writing for you. And when
it's ready, it won't be late. It'll be
right on time. You've heard it before.
You attract what you are. But I want to
This isn't about being perfect. It's
about being positioned. Too many people
are chasing a relationship without
preparing for one. They're begging for
someone to love them, but they don't
even love who they are when they're
alone. They want someone to see their
worth, but they haven't taken time to
sit with God and hear who they truly are
in his eyes. And if you don't know your
value, you'll always settle for someone
who can't see it either. Let me give you
a real life example. A woman I once knew
spent years searching for love, jumping
from relationship to relationship,
hoping someone would make her feel
whole. She was smart. She was
beautiful. But deep inside, she was
empty. She was living for the attention,
for the validation, for the idea that
being loved by someone else would
finally make her feel enough.
One day everything came crashing down.
Another breakup, another heartbreak. And
in that rock bottom moment, she stopped
asking, "Why can't I find love?" and
started asking, "Who am I without it?"
That question led her into a journey
with God she never expected. She stopped
trying to find someone and started
trying to become someone. She healed the
parts of her heart that had been overlooked.
overlooked.
She stopped performing and started
transforming. She invested in her
purpose. She served others. She stopped
looking around and started looking
within. And you know what happened? She
started to
glow. Not just physically, but
spiritually, emotionally, energetically.
She became the kind of woman who didn't chase
chase
love. Love noticed her. Because real
recognizes real.
Wholeness attracts
wholeness. And when her soulmate showed
up, he didn't just see a pretty
face. He saw a woman with [Music]
[Music]
depth. See, becoming the right person
doesn't mean you're trying to impress
your future
soulmate. It means you're preparing to
walk beside them in strength.
You're not waiting to be
chosen. You're being equipped for a
purpose bigger than
romance. Because the truth is, the
healthiest relationships aren't built on
butterflies and
chemistry. They're built on
clarity, on
character, on two people who have done
the work in
private so they can stand in purpose in
public. Two people who've asked, "God,
shape me before you send them." this
season you're in right now, the one that
feels long, quiet, maybe even
lonely. This is the ground where growth
happens, where self-awareness is
born, where your standards start
rising because you've realized you don't
need someone to complete
you. You need someone to
compleimement what God's already doing.
You don't want someone who fills a gap.
You want someone who runs at your pace.
You want a partner in purpose, not a
project to fix. And the only way to
attract someone like that is to become
someone like that. That means being
honest about your weaknesses, your
wounds, your patterns. That means
praying over your emotional health the
same way you pray for your future
spouse. That means becoming so rooted in
God's love that anyone who tries to
pursue you has to align with that
standard. You are not waiting to be
rescued. You are rising into
readiness. And I know the world will
tell you to just put yourself out there,
to compromise, to be more available. But hear
hear
me, you don't have to dim your light to be
be
seen. The right one will be drawn to your
your
authenticity, not your act. So instead
of focusing on when they'll come, focus
on who you're becoming. Are you
cultivating joy that doesn't depend on
another person? Are you setting
boundaries that protect your peace? Are
you nurturing your gifts, your goals,
your growth? Because when you become the
right person, you'll stop being shaken
by temporary attention. You'll recognize
what's real. You won't be impressed by
sweet talk. You'll be moved by spiritual
alignment. You won't settle for someone
who likes you. You'll wait for someone
who leads with you. You don't have to
chase love. You have to become love.
Become peace. Become grounded. Become
intentional. And in that becoming,
you'll find that the one who's meant for
you doesn't need to be begged or forced.
They'll recognize you because they've
been becoming, too. So don't despise
this season. You might think your past
disqualifies you from the kind of love
you've been praying for. Maybe you've
been through heartbreak that left you
questioning your worth. Maybe you made
decisions that you regret, trusted
people who didn't deserve your trust,
gave your time and energy to
relationships that didn't honor your
heart, and now you're wondering if God
is still able or even willing to write a
love story with you in it. But hear me
loud and clear. God is not limited by
your past. He is the master author. And
when he writes your love story, he
doesn't tear out the chapters you're
ashamed of. He redeems them. You are not
too broken. You are not too late. You
are not too complicated. You are exactly
where God wants to show that he still
writes the best love
stories. Stories that begin in ashes and
rise into beauty. Stories that that use
pain as the soil for growth. [Music]
Let's get practical for a second. Think
about a mosaic. If you've ever seen one,
you know it's made up of broken pieces,
shards of glass, bits of pottery, pieces
that by themselves look like
trash. But in the hands of an artist,
those broken fragments are arranged into
something stunning, something whole,
something that tells a story.
That's what God does with your life. He
takes the pieces you thought
disqualified you and arranges them into
the very testimony that makes you
stronger, wiser, softer, and
ready. You don't have to hide your
history. The enemy wants you to believe
that if someone really knew what you've
been through, they wouldn't love you.
But the truth is, the right person, your
soulmate, won't be intimidated by your
past. They'll honor it. They'll see how
God carried you through it. They'll see
how you didn't let the heartbreak break
you. How you came out of it more
compassionate, more
