Good and Faithful Servant
Home Group Leaders' Pastor is Reaching Out Possibly This Morning or Tonight... Please ask for mercy and favor on the call... May she answer it with a humble heart and be willing to listen, forgive, reconcile, reunite and may I literally be Jesus Christ in front of her and our son, nonstop -- since she is not yet saved and does not have mind renewed as of yet, Rom 12:1-3...Regardless of Reasons — Since she's not saved... I should have quietly born the provocation as silently as a lamb before it’s shearers, Isa 53:7, Acts 8:32, and had no deceit in my mouth, 1 Pet 2:22-23, rather than “jealousy which is a husband’s fury” Prov 6:34, and “as strong as death,” Song 8:6. If I have a chance to do it over, I would rather "power be perfected in weakness,” and “gladly rejoiced in insults, 2 Cor 12:9-10, for when I am weak, then I am strong.” -- I should have turned the other cheek, Matt 5:39, demonstrating love while we were yet sinners, Rom 5:8...
Please ask God to change her heart, forgive me for keeping a record of wrongs, 1 Cor 13:5. If she was reconciling, who was I to bring it up? 2 Cor 5:19-20... May I truly be granted better wisdom, James 1:5, deep repentance, 2 Cor 7:10, and strengthened by the indwelling of Christ in my heart, and learn and show Christ’s love that passes knowledge, Eph 3:16-17, 18-19, and may He do exceeding abundantly beyond ANYTHING we can ask or IMAGINE… Eph 3:20… I have a strong imagination… Do “great and mighty things I do not know,” Jer 33:3, even, “greater works than the works He did since He has gone to The Father, John 14:12.
Holy Spirit, touch her heart to swallow any pride or illusion of reputation, forgive me for "finding out" and more importantly, for bringing it up (my counselors had advised I didn't bring it up but in a moment of provocation and weakness the reality of my holding a record of wrongs was disclosed), 1 Cor 13:5. We come before the Throne of Grace to receive MERCY and GRACE for HELP in time of NEED, Heb 4:16.
Strengthen me, our Cell-Group Leaders (and members) as well our families to PRAY and INTERCEDE for REPENTANCE, HUMILITY, and RECONCILIATION — WE HAVE A 16 Month Old SON… PLEASE LET the purpose for which the KINDNESS of GOD is intended is to LEAD US to REPENTANCE, Rom 2:4.
Steer her heart (and all our hearts) as You do kings' hearts like channels of water, Prov 21:1. Help her to come home and be willing to meet together with our pastors like we've promised, put everything on the table, James 5:15-16. I GLADLY PREFER she and I reconcile, she finds forgiveness and is truly saved. I don't want to be a stumbling block by jealousy or any offense (laughing my vehicles were clamped lead me to accusing her of selfishness in familial relationships and bringing up [hopefully] past sins). I should have born the reproach in silence, Isa 53:7, Acts 8:32, 1 Pet 2:22-23. Forgive me and grant me another chance and this time upon a firm foundation of The Sermon on The Mount, Matt 7:24, namely, turning the other cheek, Matt 5:39.
Father, in Your kindness, soften my wife and matrimonial love’s heart and renew her mind, Rom 12:2-3… (We COMMITTED to each other before You in the presence of many witnesses as YOU and others, myself included, remember). Please do this for the sake of the mystery of marriage as a portrayal of Christ and His Bride, Eph 5:32, for our children, Ps 73:15, and to declare the works of the Lord, Isa 38:19, Ps 118:16-17. Thank You in Jesus' Name.
