Step
2 -We came to believe that by accepting Jesus (Yeshua) as Lord and
Savior, and re-committing our lives back to God, HE would restore us to
sanity.
What does this mean to us in divorce? We come to believe
that God has a better life for us. His direction for our lives are
better than anything we could come up with from our own devices. We
have real HOPE in Jesus!
You've heard many say, "Just pull
yourself up from the bootstraps and make it happen". Let me remind you,
God created those bootstraps and He makes it happen. It is not anything
we do. God will accomplish in us, what our best effort could not
accomplish. We just have to believe...
Divorce is hard and
attacks our emotions, our spirit and beats up on us physically if we do
not take care of ourselves. With all of this going on, we need a higher
power with some gusto and that would be Jesus Christ! I couldn't of
imagined going through it all without Him.
We can't force
ourselves to heal. WE can't make the healing go any faster than God
would allow. It just isn't going to happen. We are human and we hurt.
Liken it to a skinned knee. You can't believe it doesn't exist or that
it doesn't hurt, when there is blood running down your leg! Deal with
the bloody knee and then acknowledge the pain. Give it time to heal and
believe that it will get better. God will restore you back to sanity,
HIS WAY. Accept Jesus back into your life and recommit yourself to
Him. Divorce and the aftermath can be challenging enough, why risk it
without Him?
