I came across these words this week while reading. I'm always so torn over how to discuss my divorce. I never want to glorify divorce, but at the same time, I can't deny that it has caused me to seek God in ways I never would have before. God pulled me out of the deepest trench I've even been in, so how can I not tell my story? I've learned so much about God's unconditional love through my divorce. He has shocked me with his gentleness towards me during some of my worst moments.
As I make my way through re-reading a few items from my journals, I thought I'd share a few insights that God gave me in my lowest moments. Sometimes I gather these things from reading, some from the Bible, and some from prayer. I always bounce it off of the Bible to ensure authenticity, and I always write my realizations in God's voice, because I believe these realizations come from Him. I hope they bless you as they have me.
- Don't let fear rule you. Your decisions change not only your life, but others as well. Take a look at your decisions and look at the impacts on you as well as others around you. Are they fear-based or faith-based? Keep loving. Keep leading in the direction I am taking you.
- I can free you from your trauma, my child. A life of faith is a life of freedom. I earned your freedom through death on a cross. Take the gift I have given to you. I have given you My heart and My life. My love for you knows no bounds, and there is power in this kind of love.
- I am going to give you a real family. I had real family on earth. Some were blood relation like My mother, and some were My disciples. It didn't look like a storybook. Nothing in my life did. Yours doesn't have to, either. Don't spend too much time grieving a fairy tale you've created in your mind that isn't real. Simply move forward with your purpose.
- You are faithful in your pain, and I see it. I love you. You've been through a lot of rejection, but you cannot change who you are because others reject you. It is toxic and it will destroy you. I will always restore you to your authentic self. I want nothing to do with fake masks or images. I created you, not some cheap imitation. I never reject you. I love you, the real, authentic you. The world will reject you, but take heart, I have overcome the world.
- Your body needs sleep when you are tired. In a similar way, your mind needs rest, not manipulation. I love you, and you are My daughter. Stay strong in Me. Keep close to Me and stay in My ways. I will see you through this.
- Do not fear. Fear is nothing but a mirage that disappears when confronted. I am working in all of your situations. Simply do as I ask of you and do not worry about the world's opinions. No one else has solutions for you because no one else understands you like I do. No one else loves you like I do. My child, you must follow Me so all of these problems don't take you under. Be kind, but follow Me.
- Only I can heal your wounds. You must let go of the expectation that others will do it. They cannot and they will not. Take your pain to Me and don't let your anger well up. Bring it all to Me.
