A reminder for
today
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good
word maketh it glad. (Proverbs 12:25)
I took a few days off and visited my parents. It was a good
idea although my mind was in turmoil over the decision that my wife needed to
make. As we returned my fears became a reality and although I continued to hope
for a change of heart, she confirmed that she was going to leave. I have often
wondered what I would have done was the roles reversed. What would I do and how
would I have acted in this matter? I do not know?
What I do know is that my heart is different, and my life is
different. I am far from the person I once was, and I am not sure what I would
have done. For one more time I explained to her what is actually happening
here. You see she is convinced that it all has a purpose and that it ended like
this so that we acted humane. I see it
differently. God is the restorer and the rebuilder. He’s plan is not to break
or destroy but to cleanse and to rebuild.
So, in my mind God is busy restoring and we can stand
together and work at it, but in the same breath the enemy is working hard to
destroy and to condemn and lie. It all depends on whose side you chose. Do you believe
the lies of the enemy and take the easy way out or do you hear God’s voice and
continue to fight for it?
Unfortunately, my wife has given up and she can’t move
forward. I understand this, and I except it, but it does not mean it is right
nor is it the correct decision. To her it looks like the right choice although I
tried so hard to show her that it is not.
At times I am confused and lost and other times it hurts, and
I leaves me miserable, but I will continue to hold on to my God and I will not
be defeated. So, today I would like to remind you that everyone needs a word of
support at times. You may be going through the same struggles as I am going through,
or you may be facing much worse challenges. Your heart may be heavy or broken
or you may be asking questions that you do not have the answers to.
Today I remind you that God loves you and He will carry you through
this and He will pull you through your challenges. Do not give up and do not
turn away from Him. Keep your eyes fixed on Him and your thoughts full of His
word. You are precious to Him and whatever you did does not count anymore. So, if
people do not want to let go of the past, God has wiped it clean by the blood
of Jesus. Do not look back but look forward and stay focussed on what we must
do. Be strong, my friend and stand with me as we face the storms and keep
trusting God for the answer.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
