Does God really put people into our lives.......friends.....especially girlfriends....wives...because i just got a divorce and she dissolved the marriage, not me. does that mean God has another plan for me?or not? do we have a written destiny that we are just walking through?

Lets see if I can explain it;
Lets pretend you are on a road taking a long trip and you have a friend that can see your trip from start to finish.
He can see any deviations you should take because he has the advantage of being able to see start from finish. He does not control your trip and yet he knows your start and finish.
God knows your start from finish and if we will listen He will direct us on the best path we should take.
Psalm 139
For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
3
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.

Yes God puts pple in our lives but only for the right reasons and divorce or fornication are not one of those reasons.
like u said, "because i just got a divorce and she dissolved the marriage, not me." God didn't do the divorce, u & ur wife did and its only a legal thing, spiritually, u r still both connected, many will never understand this one, but in God's agenda, "it was not so from the beginning" Jesus said. She's still ur wife in God's plan whether she did or u did.
God's plan in marriage is to raise a godly seed.
Do u know that u can't marry another woman except ur wife again... many will not accept this but that's God's reality, whatever God has joined together let no man put asunder.
I wish u the best in ur wife returning to u actually and its very possible.

God does put people in our lives and we can choose how we accept these people. Some we choose to have as casual friends while others become close confidants. We also choose who out of these relationships will become a spouse or girlfriend. God leads us only when we allow Him to. I do not know the specs on your marriage and divorce but know that how you deal with it is your choice. You can choose to let it be a stumbling block and build a wall between you and God or it can be a stepping stone that will lead closer to God and build a more open relationship with Him. Our future is not predestined but God does have a plan for us that we can seek out to follow or we can do what we want.

God did not even 'prescribe' marriage !
We consciously formed a code of ethical life, and the sanctity of marriage springs forth from this. The experience of life passed down from generations, by very responsible people, is the substance of a good code of ethics !
A look at various customs prevalent in various countries would make this clear !
The institution called Marriage is nothing but a self imposed restriction, a commitment, for the purpose of living a refined life, and any dilution what so ever, simply means compromise on this refinement, and quality of life ! That is why the rate of divorces was ridiculously low in yester-years, and in eastern countries even now low ! A barometer of cultural richness !

I've always had a hard time with this aspect of God. According to what I've been taught (growing up in a Christian family and attending Christian schools all my life) I'm told that God knows everything before it happens. But I've also been taught that God gives us free will so we can make our own choices. Those two ideas don't seem to go together. Does God already know all the decisions we'll make, good and bad? And if all those decisions are already known, are we actually making decisions at all?
Honestly, I'm not sure God does know every single little decision that we're going to make. God can guide our decisions but I also think that he allows us to live our own lives. Not everything we choose is going to be all bliss and happiness. As I'm sure you're aware, most things are a mixture of good and bad. I would imagine that there were times of great happiness in your marriage, and that you are grateful for those moments. I'm sorry it had to end painfully, but don't assume that it was God's will that you be hurt by your ex-wife. I'm sure God was sorry to see it happen as well. God doesn't like to see us in pain. But due to the presence of sin and evil in the world, well, quite frankly, **** happens. What I've learned to appreciate about God is that He can make good come out of bad situations, though it can be very difficult to see at first.
I think God nudges us in certain directions knowing where our talents and strengths lie, but we still make the final decisions.

I personally don't believe in God but I believe that there is something or someone out there that is greater than us. The only part of our destiny that I believe is written is the time that we will die. Everything else is choice. We have free will. I'm sorry about your divorce but you will make it through. I think we put people into our lives by our choices. Good Luck:)

I'm in agreement with rottymom..... I know a guy, a really good friend in Christ, he went through the same thing 9 yrs. ago, divorced, and has not remarried. His relationship to Christ is much closer, he's become a Sunday school teacher, a VP at a bank, and God has blessed his life in so many ways. Are you 100% sure you are going to heaven? If you are not sure, pray that God will save you, and let Jesus come into your heart, ask forgiveness for your sins, and join a bible based church.

First I'd like to say sorry about everything that is going on in your life. Its ruff, I hate when people say "everyone gets a divorce" It seems now a days its a normal thing to do, and its no big deal.
Everyone has a differnt view on how God works. For me I think God doesnt have a set plan in our life, because he gave us free will to choose what we want to belive or not. God will watch over and be with you always through good and bad, and will guide you to someone who needs someone too.
God bless

God has purpose for everyone's life, but he made us with free will, not like robots. We have to chose which way to go, and I believe God does place other's into our lives to help us discern our path. Sometimes we are willfull and go against what God has planned. Alot of the time, that messes up the path God was placing before us. But when a door closes, a window is opened. Hope it helps

YES. God does put people and situations in your life. He does not do it to make you suffer. It is to teach you things. Learning what Gods plan is and what he is trying to teach and help you with will help you. For example, if God puts an annoying, loud and pesky person in your life, He may be trying to teach you to love even those types of personalities, patience or something else. I am sure that God has another plan for you.
