YOUR SPOUSE IS NOT
A LOST CAUSE!
So if you are suffering according to God's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the God who made you, for he will never fail you. 1 Peter 4:19 (TLB)
As you face Christmas in 13 days, do you feel that your husband or wife will never change and your marriage is dead forever? How many family and friends tell you that you need to "get on with your life, your spouse is never coming back?" During the Christmas holidays you will hear many different comments or suggestions for you, your marriage and family. We understand the pain and suffering that you are going through these difficult days without your beloved husband or wife or children. We have heard from men and women telling us they are desperate, hopeless, cannot pray, but they continue to tell us about all that their spouse is doing. They often state that their spouse is never going to change. Their spouse is not a Christian, so why should they wait? What did they forget? They forgot the power of our awesome mighty God who sent His only Son who came to earth to save lost people in a corrupt, sinful world.
Are you looking and judging everything by your circumstances? If the enemy can discourage you by circumstances, then he knows how to defeat you. We receive email from standers daily and some say that there is going to be a wedding or there is news that there is now going to be a baby. Can you relate to the pain and suffering that these dear standers are going through right now? I do not know how to say a biblical truth in a different way but, "Never give up on the God who created the Heavens and the earth!"
"With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Mark 10:27
I pray that you will never give up on your beloved spouse regardless of their circumstances today. God can heal your marriage if you do not give up! What we often forget is that each testimony we hear is usually after someone has gone through pain, suffering or circumstances. God will then produce a testimony where He will get the praise and the glory while that woman or man of faith has developed perseverance, character and hope for the future regardless of their marriage trials or tribulations. That dear Christian then knows that God is able to handle anything!
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
…And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:2-6
Are you listening to God for His truths or are you only turning to Him when you are hurting, asking Him for help? Are you asking the Lord what His instructions are for your marriage? Are you willing to obey Him? Are you willing to allow your Lord to change you to become the spouse that you need to be for your Lord and for your mate? Are you willing to pray, stand and wait for your spouse 'until death do us part' regardless of your circumstances? I heard a spouse who was the prodigal who called into a radio program and he shared how he was not a good husband or father and left his family. That was when he had been married five years and he has now been married 22 years. He praised his wife and said she should share her testimony. The final words to his story were: Never give up on your marriage! God's resurrecting power can do anything!
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:17-18
We want you standing strong before Christmas. Are you still hurting? Cry out to the Lord and ask Him to heal your broken heart as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. We serve a God of miracles. Ask the Holy Spirit to touch and heal your wounded heart, your body, soul and spirit. Then allow the Holy Spirit to remove the spirit of heaviness, despair, depression or oppression. Your Lord can remove all your pain, any unforgiveness, bitterness and even anger. Let Him give you a crown of beauty, the oil of gladness and a garment of praise. Let the Lord put His robe of righteousness over you, as you would cover your child in bed. Allow your Lord to cover you with His amazing unfailing love to heal you from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. He died for you and loves you and your entire family.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29
Was it worth all the pain and suffering that I went through in my marriage? A million times over again, yes! Bob wrote his first book, Prodigals Do Come Home because he saw someone who was hurting, in an emergency room, going through a divorce. Bob knew at that time, two years after our remarriage, that our Lord God had the answer for all marriage problems or divorce. Bob knew that His Lord could heal wounded hearts and heal impossible marriages.
We believe more today than ever before that God believes in "lost causes" regardless of the sins of adultery, alcohol, abuse, drugs, pornography, or gambling. The Lord is greater than any addiction or sin. The Lord came to seek and save the ungodly and the lost. Will you choose to follow your Lord Jesus Christ in living a Christ-like life now and raise your children in a Christian home? Will you start planning on celebrating Christmas this year? The Lord will heal your broken and wounded heart as well as He will heal, restore and rebuild your marriage!
Have a blessed day,
