Day 24

Good morning

Yesterday I talked about unforgiveness, today I feel I need to go into it a bit more. How many of us feel that we have forgiven our spouse and the OP completely? One litmus test is what feeling stir up when they do something that you feel in wrong? How do you feel when you see them together?

Remember I said yesterday that forgiveness and love gives you peace even during the storm. We all know the story of when Jesus walked on water and peter came to meet him. This analogy is used quite often. That as long as he kept his eye on Jesus he was fine but once he looked at the storm he started sinking. Well how many of us are sinking.

A lot of us may feel that we have to reach out to our spouse to say sorry, to ask for forgiveness to show them that we have changed. We keep forgetting we are one flesh and that our marriage was joined by God. Whatever message we feel we need to impart to our spouse if they can’t feel it in our flesh then God will get the message to them without our help.

I hear people say well my h don’t know I’m miserable because I don’t show it around him. YES HE DOES, you are one flesh. Or I have to tell them this because it will help them. Remember the test I stated before, if you feel pushed or rushed to tell your spouse something then maybe you don’t need to tell them. It could probably wait, God is a gentleman he doesn’t rush us or our spouse and he always open doors for what he wants done. The is a saying don’t know where it comes from but it goes “the finger of God doesn’t point in a direction that the hand of God hasn’t made a pathâ€

So now comes why are you hurt (for long periods of time) and feeling a need to rush to get to your spouse. This is because you have not released them and forgiven them and given them to God. Remember when you chase someone what do they do? They flee!!!! If you look at the parable of the prodigal son you will see that the father does chase after his son and try to show him the error of his ways, if you read Hosea you will see that he doesn’t chase after his wife and try to show her the errors of her ways. No that is God’s job and we need to stop getting in his way. I know I am guilty of this as well. But we learn from our mistakes.

If all our spouse feels is pain and hurt from us, where we are saying I Love ____, so much it just hurts, why would they want to come back? Why would they want your God? If all they are seeing is pain, despair, loneliness, manipulating and condemnation, why or why will they want to come back?

You should be showing them God’s love, mercy, forgiveness, and peace through your actions. I am no saying you won’t get hurt or angry, but for your own sake and nothing to do with your spouse take it immediately to God in your prayer closet and release it. So that you can keep your peace. You cannot fake peace, people will be able to see it in you. People will be able to see God in you, they will be able to see strength in you. They will be able to see a lot more than you can. This I know for a fact. So if you do not have it you cannot fake it and one of the most important ways to get it is to spend quality time with God. Forgive and Release it. Then move on. Remember we forgive for the past, present and future, just as God has forgiven us, with no conditions attached. That is why it is called unconditional love.

Have a beautiful day. Give everything over to God and let him guide you, and claim the peace God has waiting for you.

Anthonette.
