Separation is not the end of a marriage. Sometimes couples have to part ways to gather themselves, to be able to think clearly, reunite with their inner beings, realize things, etc. Eventually some would end up going back to each other's arms again, while others dont and end up pairing with someone else. In that case, it is extremely painful for the one who is expecting and hoping for a reconciliation.
It is not wrong to expect and hope that one day your spouse would come back, no matter how long or how difficult the daily struggles would be. It is a natural emotion of a person who sincerely loves.
The Scriptures says "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Cor. 13:4-7) This passage tells us how great it is to love and be loved.
For those who desires a "second chance" or a reconciliation, put hardwork in developing yourself to become a better person (better than the one your spouse used to know), repent and keep the faith! Pray harder than ever for God listens to your every cry.
Try to ponder on these living words...
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. (Psalms 34:15-20)
In one way or another, these living words will soothe you and bring you peace.Labels: faith, love, marriage, separation
