Harvest Is Coming! I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit. Leviticus 26:4 (KJV) I thought my roots were deep but a recent storm nearly blew me over! After 11 years of marriage, I found out my spouse was having an affair. I was devastated! I thought I was living a happy life with a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I did not foresee the devastation from the storm that suddenly damaged my “happy home.†Although my husband did not leave our “happy home,†we have been living in total dismay. Hurt, pain, agony, but we strive to forget the past and move forward. This has been very painful at times…which has also brought me closer to God...

To all those who are looking for answers and seeking God's guidance, this is for you. Know this; God always answers our prayers. You have heard the term "be careful what you ask for because you just may get it" ??...Well, there is truth to this.....God will answer prayers and he will sometimes give us things we ask for when he knows we would be better off not to have it...... Then there are times you find yourself feeling God DIDN"T answer your prayer.....this is not true......he did answer, but just because he did'nt give you what you wanted, doesn't mean he didn't answer it. God has a lot of prayers to take care of......many people to look out for.....the farmer wants rain but the person who works depending on the weather, and can't...

From birth to death, life is full of emotional markers that bring tears of joy or tears of heartache. We find ourselves crying at the birth of a child, on the day of a wedding, at the time of a death, or at the delivery of any sad or wonderful occasion. We are faced with tremendous turmoil and the pain seems unbearable as tears of sorrow and suffering flow down our cheeks. We are overcome with great joy or happiness and we find ourselves trying to hold back the little drops of emotion. Whether it is because of happiness or because of heartache, tears find their place on the faces of everyone some time throughout life. Crying is inescapable. It is a definite event of life and has a cleansing effect on the soul. When we cry, we show...

ARE YOU LACKING WISDOM? - ASK THE LORD! If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt... James 1:5-6 Do you have questions about personal problems in your marriage? What do you do? How many people do you ask for opinions or tell them about your circumstances and marriage problems? Do you listen to your friends who give their opinions of what you “should do?†Do you want to know what you should do? You need to seek the Lord for His divine wisdom and knowledge every day. Have you started asking the Lord for His wisdom and His knowledge for your marriage and for your own life? How much better will you feel...

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM If you are like me, you probably think you are an expert at looking at a situation and coming up with conclusions that you think are factual. I may see a family in a store who is dealing with a misbehaving child and I quickly judge, “If they would just…..that child would obey.†In actuality, I have no idea what the story is with that family and why that child is disobeying. The same may be said for a marriage. Many people may have looked at you and your spouse and never imagined that you would have marriage problems. They may have thought that you were the perfect couple. Things are not always as they seem. You may look at your spouse right now and think, “I know he/she is so happy...

PUT LOVE INTO ACTION! Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Do you believe that “love never fails?†I believe that if every pastor would spend four weeks every year teaching on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, we could slow down or stop divorces in our churches. Just imagine if every church would have a group of prayer intercessors praying ahead of time for the pastor’s messages. I believe that many hurting or hardened hearts, lives and...

Be assured I have not waivered in my walk and my stand and faith for my marriage remain strong. Keep your prayers coming alot has changed in the situation I am in and I see God moving in ways I never saw before. But enough about me lets get back to the post in hand. "So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 AMP God speaks and it happens never will His word come back to Him saying "Sorry...

Where’s Your Focus? This is a question all standers should ask themselves regularly. Are you focused on your spouse? Your circumstances….the other person, court date, financial problems, custody battles, loneliness, what others are saying, and on and on. What about your stand for marriage restoration? Are you focused on that? Or are you focused on God? You have probably experienced all of these as what consumes your thoughts at some point. It’s not unusual to feel like you are on a roller coaster emotionally. You pray, cry out to God, get in the Word, read Charlyne Cares email devotionals and get encouraged and built up. Considering the chaos around you, you are finally starting to feel confident in your stand for restoration...

WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:1-2 This Lord's Day may you praise the Lord for His greatness and His majesty! Worship the Lord as if He was the only One around you. I pray that every day you will surrender your life and marriage to His will and way, to His plan and to His purposes. You must get to the point of believing and trusting the Lord that He will be with you in the good and the bad days. God wants the best for you and your marriage. Will you pick up your cross and follow the Lord daily? The voice of the...
