Of course, I am a second wife so I have seen divorce and its repercussions. Yet, I have seen healing and restoration. I have seen God bring back the years the locust has eaten-- in part, if not in full. I'll wait for heaven for that. When I read, "God hates a divorcing," I don't think it is a command for compliance from an angry God, but rather a gentle, compassionate whisper, that tells us He is crying with us.

In the moments grief would cave in on me, I do focus on the knowledge that prayers have engulfed me. I don't think past the next few hours. If I did, I'd prolly have heart attack. Right now, I just focus on doing the next thing. And the next and next. For now, that's working. sigh.

I also know there's nothing I can say to ease it. But I can tell you there is life after divorce. And, as He did for Job, God has blessed me more abundantly since. I pray you will see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that God will richly bless you if you focus on Him and not your pain.

Because I wanted to please God and I had people telling me I couldn't leave, because it was a sin. They were wrong. Of course God hates divorce. But he loves us! He saved me from that abuse, because I cried out to him in my pain and he heard me. I deserved to be loved and cherished, just as my vows had stated. So, he gave me someone who would. I am so grateful for the pain I went through, because I can and appreciate more the love I have now. We live in a fallen world. Things don't always turn out the way they should. But, trust in God to make things right. He hears you, and you deserve to be happy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773898345442096173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564600666420534816.post-73953907267447500062012-09-30T07:35:41.919-07:002012-09-30T07:35:41.919-07:00Praying for you and holding you close in my heart!...Praying for you and holding you close in my heart! {{{{hugs}}}}}Angie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13487012722258208047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564600666420534816.post-68611231212122979852012-09-30T06:05:02.537-07:002012-09-30T06:05:02.537-07:00It's hard, I know.

No prayer is ever wasted, for God has known the outcome all along and He was meeting your needs in light of that fact. He is a big God, but limited Himself on purpose when He gave us free will. Keep the faith, as I know you will, you are an inspiration. God bless you.
