PRESSING THROUGH.........
There are a growing number of broken marriages in the
world today. The further apart they drift....the wider the
crevice of brokenness expands. Given enough time, the
chasm between them seems an insurmountable
obstacle. Many couples who eventually wake up to the
reality of their broken marriage feel they have fallen too
far apart for any reasonable expectation of real healing
and reconciliation.
Broken marriages need "HOPE" for long-term healing
and restoration. God promises a good return for those
who invest in seeking hope. Amazingly, the Bible even
tells us that we can ‘rejoice in our sufferings.’ Why?
Because ‘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.’ (Rom. 5:3-5)
The benefit to pressing through the suffering of a
broken marriage and pursuing hope to rebuild is that
the love of God will increasingly abound. The small
steps you take today toward a new attitude of hope will
produce long-term benefits that far outweigh the current
sacrifice.
‘May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.’
(Rom. 15:13)
