THIS POST IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE BLOG LAUNCH FOR THE BOOK:
"CHOOSING HIM ALL OVER AGAIN"
I gazed long and hard through the window while sitting on my bed. The words hit
me hard. This book opened my eyes to struggles
in the heart of a young Christian woman who desired her home to be restored.
The
reality of divorces and separation even in Christian homes dug deep in my heart.
No
marriage is faultless, mine isn’t perfect either but there is a lot of room to
grow, build and to improve.
As I pondered on, I
asked myself these questions;
·
Can we discontinue this cycle of
divorce in our families as believers?
·
Is there hope for redeeming a failing marriage?
·
What role can I play in the church?
·
What role am I playing now to continually
build my marriage? Is it good enough and what more can we do together as a
couple?
Pieces of
wisdom from “Choosing Him All over Again” I took with me
Prayer
can break the cycle of Divorce. Juana’s firm and dogged approach allowed God
to restore back her marriage.
Intentionally, not giving in to enemy’s plans in the
area of marriage is one of the secrets Juana shared in her book.
Commit to
growing your man, yourself and your home.
Marriage is a commitment.
Using
Godly wisdom, from the author of marriage
himself, God, will save our homes. There are many biblical secrets that can
keep our Christian homes.
Recognize that there is an error.
As a mother, I will teach my children my own mistakes. I will also show them
where I fell so they don’t get caught up in the same mess.
We
should dedicate ourselves to honestly guide our children in the truth of God’s
words despite our own shortcomings.
For
someone reading this, I lay my pen down with these:
There is hope.
For
there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that
the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Job 14:7
God heals the broken hearted
He healeth the broken
in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Psalm
147:3
God can restore any marriage on
the verge of separation or divorce
God hates divorce
For the LORD, the God
of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts:
therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Malachi
2:16
Divorce leave deep scars, break
the cycle of dysfunctional and brokenness inherited from parents
And
finally, in the words of Juana Mikels Page 56
“Broken marriages can leave
Broken children who are left
To pick-up the broken pieces”.
