"I AM STANDING FOR THE HEALING OF MY MARRIAGE!... I will not give up, give in, give out or give over 'til that healing takes place. I made a vow, I said the words, I gave the pledge, I gave a ring, I took a ring, I gave myself, I trusted GOD, and said the words, and meant the words... in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad...so I am standing NOW, and will not sit down, let down, slow down, calm down, fall down, look down or be down 'til the breakdown is torn down!
I refuse to put my eyes on outward circumstances, or listen to prophets of doom, or buy into what is trendy, worldly, popular, convenient, easy, quick, thrifty, or advantageous... nor will I settle for a cheap imitation of God's real thing, nor will I seek to lower God's standard, twist God's will, rewrite God's word, violate God's covenant, or accept what God hates, namely divorce!
In a world of filth, I will stay pure; surrounded by lies I will speak the truth; where hopelessness abounds, I will hope in God: where revenge is easier, I will bless instead of curse; and where the odds are stacked against me, I will trust in God's faithfulness.
I am a STANDER, and I will not acquiesce, compromise, quarrel or quit.. I have made the choice, set my face, entered the race, believed the Word, and trusted God for all the outcome.
I will allow neither the reaction of my spouse, nor the urging of my friends, nor the advice of my loved ones, nor economic hardship, nor the prompting of the devil to make me let up, slow up, blow up, or give up 'til my marriage is healed."
AMEN SISTER!!!! I am going to print this off and put it in my journal. This is definitely something to meditate on, for all of us. You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday, the enemy was on attack in our house and was working hard to tear us down. We both gave in and let him have his way. It was bad. Every marriage is under attack. We DO have to fight for it. The enemy wants nothing more than to pull us into various forms of evil, to drive us apart,to destroy our marriage. I can actually see the work of his hands sometimes, track back from a viscous argument to the source and see that one or the other of us fell for some lie and that's what started all the fighting and meanness. And if we had just been wise enough to see it for what it was, we would have said, "no way, satan, not today." Because we all fall for it now and then, we must be able to forgive... "there, but for the grace of God, go I."
Our home, family, and spouse are the most holy gifts God gives us while on Earth apart from the gift of His Son. So of course, that is the place where Satan attacks when we are weak.
We all sin and do things that hurt the one we love. And when we are weak, we do terrible things. Me,too, believe me.
THANK GOD that there is healing, redemption, forgiveness and renewal. Girl, stand by the words above and God will bless you, one way or another.
