Weddings are always good for reminding you of the one common desire that we all have - To love and to be loved. I love to listen to the message shared with the couple to be. Is a good reminder of how you should treat and love your spouse and what it talks to make a marriage last. Most importantly that you need God in your life and you need to live by his word. Going through my own trials and tribs right now, I'm reminded of the vows that I took and the pending divorce on the horizon. Knowing my divorce is only three weeks away, I'm not relieved. I'm not ready! And I'm beginning to think that I shouldn’t go through with it. It could just be nervousness or it could be something else. I plan to spend the next three weeks exploring my heart and praying for the wisdom to make the right decision. I would certainly appreciate prayers if any of you remember my thoughts today.
"What God brings together let no man tear apart." Hard words to live by right now.....they’re haunting me now.
The following passages are why this is so hard.
(1 Corinthians 7: 10-17) 10 To the married I give this command--not I but the Lord--that the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say--I and not the Lord--that if any believer has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. It is to peace that God has called you. 16 Wife, for all you know, you might save your husband. Husband, for all you know, you might save your wife. 17 However that may be, let each of you lead the life that the Lord has assigned, to which God called you. This is my rule in all the churches.
"Lord I pray that you comfort me in this time and help me to reach the place you want me to be. If my marriage is not to last help me heal and make this hurt go away, make my longing cease and dry my tears. If it isn't to perish, help my husband hear your call and feel you tugging on his heart, let him answer you enthusiastically, and with a hurried heart to know you. Let him know that his wife is here and she longs for him to know you. With you, I know that all things are possible. In Jesus name, I PRAY, Amen."
