I think almost everyone has had that one relationship where they had all the right ingredients. However, somehow or another (and you still can’t quite figure it out), things just didn’t work out. Maybe the best way you can describe it is that there just wasn’t any chemistry. Maybe … but maybe not.

Having a choice encounter with your Mr. Right is about more than just being in the right place at the right time. How that encounter will ultimately end will weigh heavily on whether or not you are being who God called you to be while doing what God called you to do.

It doesn’t matter that Mr. Right finds you today if your heart and mind aren’t even in the right place. Sooner or later, it will fizzle out, and you’ll wonder, “What happened?” NOW is the time to be you. Wholly. Boldly. Courageously. Passionately. Healed. Empowered. Your Mr. Right is looking for the REAL you. You are not flawed but fearfully and wonderfully made. Start living your life with purpose—and if you don’t know your purpose, get busy discovering it. Take an active approach to heal from past hurts. It will free you and strengthen you.

Life’s too short not to ever genuinely know yourself in all its splendor and incredible worth. Step into your world. Chances are high that Mr. Right is already there waiting for you to show up.

Do you have any fear or hesitation connected to being authentic? What small step can you take today to disable those fears?
