Sometimes the love that takes your breath away is not meant to last. Karin Hadadan shows how this fleeting connection mends your heart, along with Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day It shows how trusting in God’s timing helps you find the right love and find peace in your studies.

After many prayers, tears, and inner work, you finally meet someone who feels like the answer. They appear suddenly—unexpectedly, almost in other countries—when you have surrendered, found perfection, and stopped searching.
You encounter them without expectation, and yet, the connection is unlike anything you’ve ever known. The energy, the chemistry, the shared values, the mysterious synchronicity—it takes your breath away. I don’t believe there really is such a person, you think. I can’t believe it’s finally my turn.
From the first conversation, it sounds divine. You speak the same language. You walk on the same frequency. You want the same kind of life. Time seems to slow down. Your body feels safe. Your soul rests. A deep, unwavering whisper says, There they are.
The following days and weeks only deepened the pull. Attraction is more than physical—mental, emotional, spiritual, magnetic. Every interaction feels like joy. Every time it leaves you wanting more. On paper, everything seems perfect.
Then—without warning—the power shifts. Stop showing up the way they used to. The answers come slowly. Excuses pile up. Plans are coming true. Doubt creeps in. You wonder if you thought it all through. Did I misread communication? Was I wrong? Or is it not the right time?
Your mind becomes a battlefield—self and soul fight for dominance. You start working hard to keep them close. You edit your words. He gives more. You are trying to prove your worth. You hold on so tightly that the connection goes right into your fingers. Anxiety fills in to fill the void they have left.
He wants to be clear without you. Friends. Parents. Co-workers. Somewhere deep down, you hope someone will say, “I’ve been there—the beginning was magical, the middle was wild, the end was successful.” You are looking for anecdotal evidence. Evidence of right person, wrong time.
But when you are silent, you remember the truth with love—the kind that lasts. Easily marked. The flow. Commitment. And if you’re honest, this relationship, no matter how intoxicating, was none of those things from start to finish.
If this person can hold your love without triggering your deepest fears, they are indeed a soulmate—but not the kind that lasts forever. It was the kind that comes in short bursts, shakes your core, and awakens parts of you you didn’t know were dormant.
Because it is possible for them that the old beliefs—i’m over I don’t fit in, I don’t deserve it– came back roaring. Every time they took off, you were more dependent. Every time they hold back, you try to arrange intimacy. They became a mirror that showed you all the last pieces that still needed to be healed.
And that is a gift.
If God brings you someone who has a lot of what you want, but is not ready or willing to choose you, then your true partner must be closer than you think. If God has allowed this test, it means that the lesson is designed to prepare you for the love that is to come. If the communication is over, it is because this person has fulfilled the role God sent him. He is not the one who ran away. This is the one who took away your power so that the righteous could enter.
