's message, "feeling empty" on 08:10:29 08/03/01 Fri
>It's very easy for me to take the attitude of, "Oh, don't worry...God has a plan for you.", but I choose not to. Having been through two divorces...being male...and having been dealt with by God, I feel I can respond to your message. Men are 'cold' a lot of the time due to the way we are wired by God. This does not excuse us from not dealing with issues in an appropriate way. I don't know what your 'X'is using for an excuss, but God will hold him accountable. Not knowing the details of the split between you and he, I simply want to encourage you to lean on your church home for support. There are Godly people all around you that will help you emotionally, financially, and most of all spiritually. God calls us into relationships. First with Himself and then the people around us. "Seek, and you will find, knock and the door will be opened up to you." I really feel that He keeps His promise of providing us with what we need. Right now, I would guess you are in need of a Sister (or 2!) in Christ that will come along side of you and help carry the weight. I won't preach, but our Lord reminds us that if we will forgive those who do us harm that He will carry us in His might hand! Right now may be a time when you don't see much fruit being shown on your behave. Don't let Satan get a foot hold due to an unforgiving heart. Please forgive me if I speak out of turn but due to past experiences...I felt I should mention that. If things have come to a definite end and there is no option for reconciliation, it could be time to move on and reclaim your life, as well. "Yea though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death...", the key word is 'through'! Our Lord never means for us to stay and dwell in a place that's dry. He is the Spring of Living Water...let Him take the place spiritually of your 'X'. Your identity as a Daughter of God is found in Christ...not a husband. This 'season' of being single can be a time of great adventure in epecting God to move on your behalf. Trusting Him is tough from time to time but you obviously have trusted Him before! Trust Him again! I could go on and on but time may best be served by my suggesting you contact Westwood Baptist's Single Adult Ministry Office (472-1535) and allow us to help. Make a good choice. "Seek, knock..." the choice is yours.
