Forgiveness In Holy Unions
Friday, July 06, 2007

How awful it is living on the other side of forgiveness,
holding onto bitterness and working to hate the man/woman you’d
pledged your life to.

At a point in time, when love turns sour, where you begin
to live separate lives under one roof, thinking badly of
each other, listening to the lies being told to you by the
devil the father of lies, believing you deserve something
better than a life together, you need to remember that the
devil is the author of destruction. John 10:10 tells us
that ‘the devil comes but to steal, kill and destroy…’.

In every relationship, there is a point in time when things
could go wrong, where series of mistakes are made; even
love could make a mistake. Anger and bitterness set in and
the 2 drift apart, when it is time to right those wrongs,
‘memories of how you fell in love and how magical it was’
could bring back sanity to such relationships with the help
of the Holy Spirit.

It is easier when both parties are willing though many a
times, if otherwise where the other is unwilling because of
bitterness and refusal to trust, one needs to be patient as
he that waits upon the Lord, his strength is renewed (the
way a good fisherman knows about waiting).

Impatience can lead to dangerous and sinful choices when a
marriage is not going the way we want it to especially over
months and years, our faith in God’s timing is tested. It
is a time to remember that God has not forgotten you, wait
for Him to act. Ps.27:4 ‘Wait on the Lord: be of good
courage, and He shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on
the Lord’ Though His intervention may seem overdue ,
patience will help you avoid making a hasty choice you will
regret later. Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us there is a season
and a time to every purpose under the heaven. vs. 8 goes on
to tell us that there is a time to love and a time to hate
but vs. 11 says ‘He has made every thing beautiful in His
time…’

The unwillingness to forgive is always because of a fear of
re-occurrence, the problem here is “pride”. This is why
Adam and Eve ate the apple because they felt smarter than
God; they wanted to be like God. Once loving couples start
to go in different directions and wind up believing divorce/separation
is the option while really the only solution is to grab
each other tightly, forgive and go on.

The devil has always been behind the sin of ‘pride’. He
wants us to think we can’t forgive, can’t live humbly with
each other. His agenda is to make us miserable. Need we
permit that? This is the time you need to stop running,
forgive each other and remember all the reasons you got
married in the first place.

‘Divorce/Separation’ is simply two people listening to the devil’s
lies most time. When you say your wedding vows, the last
thing on your mind is divorce/separtion, so where does it come from
years later.

In life, people and pressures shift, in so doing, the soil
of the earth remains so likewise when things get rough, no
matter what, don’t shift from your home. With God, the
storm will pass. Job 14:14 tells us to hold on for a change
is coming.

Peace and Blessings,

Prophetess.Shar

I agree around the issue of forgiveness, but don't agree that separation and divorce are always a negative thing. Some 40+ years ago, I married a wonderful man who is still one of my very best friends, but our lives were going in very different directions. The initial split up had a lot of anger in it, but we also had a child and that forced us to stay in contact with one another and to get past the bitterness.

I have no regrets in marrying him, nor in divorcing him. I fully believe that it was God's will for us to both marry and divorce. I am grateful for him in my life as he is of me. Divorce and separation don't have to be ugly. It can simply be an understanding of two people growing in different directions.
