Divorce is so easy and common in this day and time. There
is no need to prove grounds for divorce; we just dump our mate as if they are a
sack of garbage. We do not see life through their eyes, but only our own. There
are personality issues and woundedness in every person’s soul, which may hinder
us, or our partner, from changing.
Rather than divorce, we can change our focus about our
mate's issues and accept them with love for who they are at this very moment.
Satan plants lies in our soul throughout the experiences of our life. These
misconceptions cause us to over-react irrationally and with intense emotion in
our current life situations.
Once the lie is discovered, we can hear God’s truth about
the issue. These problems are resolved through seeking their root and origin,
uncovering Satan's lie and then hearing God speak His truth to our soul ( www.theophostic.com ). God's healing will change
our behavior for the better as we find freedom in Christ and His Word.
However, before a person finds this freedom, they are often
divorced by their mate, which adds to their trauma. Interestingly, the mate who
does the divorcing tends to connect with another injured soul with many of the
same issues as their former mate. They also take their own unresolved issues
from their former marriage into their next relationship.
This is often tragic and ruins their bond with the next
person too. Give yourself time to recover from the trauma of your break-up. The
more you date, the more sure you will be of finding God’s choice for you. Then,
when you find someone with whom you can connect mentally, spiritually,
emotionally and physically, make sure it is God's will by allowing Him to
continue to heal your wounded soul.
Prayer:
Father God, remind us that our soul longs more for a
relationship with You than with a person. We often go from one person to
another in this life, trying to find our soul mate, or someone to complete us.
Yet, the only way we can feel fulfilled is through deepening our commitment and
our relationship with You. This is true even for married people. The more we
find acceptance and develop satisfaction in our relationship with You, the more
we can serve our mate out of our love for You (Ephesians 5:22, 6:7;
Colossians 3:18, 23-24).
Thought for the Day:
Our support and understanding of our partner’s shortcomings
will do much to improve our attitude, as well as our mate's feelings of love
and acceptance.
