Welcome! 12-12-21
About a week or so ago I was on the treadmill listening to Jesse Duplantis speaking about giving God the glory for things He has done. It came to me, even thought I thank Him daily for what He has done in my life, I have only told a select few what He has actually done. For privacy reasons mainly.
If you have have tuned in when I went live on FB you have already heard me tell about how God brought my daughter and grandsons back to our family-my life after seven years. And how he healed my grandson from the doctors report of his future of being a vegetable, to Gods report of him being smart, funny, and full of life-through speaking Gods Word over him.
However, what I have not publicly given God glory for is restoring my marriage. It look huge steps of obedience on my part because honestly, I was ready to walk. I said, "God I don't want to do this anymore, but I will do whatever you want me to do".
First, I needed to listen to what God was saying to me as hard as it was to hear. Then I needed repent for my part in the downfall of our marriage. That was tough, because I was hurt and done. However, I needed to surrender to God trusting Him, but trusting Him for what?
The devil-satan was whispering in my ear that I was trusting God for more hurt, however, that isn't the God I serve! Instead, through my acts of obedience-"love him no matter what" is what God told me to do. My thought was, "that's not fair!", but that's exactly what I did!
Love never fails 1 Corinthians 13:8
Through continual steps of obedience and unconditional love, my marriage is now better than I dreamed possible! It took repentance, extreme obedience, unconditional love, and speaking life into our marriage.
I assume through watching us or hearing our conversations, that the strain of our marriage was evident. However, now the total opposite is true-reality! TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!
Blessings!
