Well, my dear friends, you might think you know everything about love and relationships, but hold your horses! Today, I’m going to flip the script and tell you about something many of you might not have considered—how your very best friend just might be your true soulmate. Now, I can hear some of y’all already scoffing, “Mary, come on!” But keep an open mind and read on. You might just find yourself having an ‘Aha!’ moment by the time you reach the end of this little ditty.
The Secret Language of Souls
Let’s start with the obvious: do you and your best friend have your own secret language? I’m talking about those inside jokes, those silly nicknames, and the glances that speak volumes without a single word. Chip and I, well, we can still laugh about a family BBQ incident from 1982, and our kids haven’t a clue what we’re giggling about. If you and your best friend share that kind of psychic connection, folks, that’s a soul-level bond. It’s like God’s way of giving you a personal interpreter for life’s complicated script.
When Silence is Golden
Speaking of speaking, how about those moments of comfortable silence? Now, I don’t mean the kind you wish would end because it’s awkward. I’m talking about the kind where neither of you feels the need to fill the air with idle chatter. You could be sitting on a porch swing, sipping your sweet tea, just enjoying each other’s company. That, my darlings, is a true sign you’ve found someone special. Your spirits are cozy enough to sit in peace. And if you can be yourself in the stillness, why, that’s a sure sign of soul connection.
Shared Values and Beliefs
Soulmates aren’t just about fireworks and romantic dinners. A soulmate is someone with whom you share the deeper things in life—your faith, convictions, values, and beliefs. If y’all find yourselves in church together every Sunday, praying together, and even getting into debates about Scripture that make both your hearts flutter with joy, oh, child, you just might be staring your soulmate right in the eyes. God has a funny way of bringing people together, and sometimes those divine plans unravel in the most unexpected of friendships.
The Laughter Test
Laughter is good for the soul, they say, and Lord Almighty, that’s no lie. If your gut reaction to stress or sadness is to call your best friend because you know they’ll make you laugh till you cry, that’s a heavenly sign if I ever saw one. My dear Ethel can make me belly-laugh in the darkest times, and let me tell you, that’s more valuable than gold. A friend who can turn your tears into joy is worth considering as more than just a friend.
The Long-Haul Factor
Think back over the years—how many storms have you weathered together? I’m guessing plenty. When someone stands by you through thick and thin, they aren’t just showing loyalty; they’re part of your life’s tapestry. If your best friend has been the rock during job losses, illnesses, and even those heated family holidays, they may very well be your soulmate. This kind of unwavering support is rare and downright sacred.
The Nudging of the Holy Spirit
Sometimes, dear ones, the signs are quieter and more subtle than trumpets. Maybe you’ve felt a persistent nudge in your heart, a small, still voice that gives you peace when you think about this friend. That’s the Holy Spirit, my loves, guiding you and providing you with the wisdom you may not even know you need. Don’t ignore these gentle proddings; they’re divine breadcrumbs leading you to a better understanding of the people in your life.
In Conclusion: Could It Be?
Now that I’ve walked you through these signs, you might be scratching your head and thinking, “Mary, all this just seems like regular friendship!” And you’d be partly right, because the best kinds of romantic relationships are rooted deeply in this kind of genuine friendship. The Bible tells us that love is patient and kind, and those traits are often best exemplified by true, unwavering friendship.
So the next time you’re sitting with your best friend, sharing that knowing glance or finishing each other’s sentences, just pause and think, “Could this person be my soulmate?” God works in mysterious ways, and love is one of his grandest mysteries of all.
Until next time, keep loving deeply and laughing freely, and may God bless your every step in discovering the soul connections He’s crafted just for you.
