After 15 years my marriage ended. The only thing ALL of my friends who married the same year I married were and to this day are still married. I remember providing information to wives not to leave their marriage. I explained to them how they needed to give everything to God and allow God to handle their marriage. The more I helped them and followed my own advise my marriage got worse and their marriage healed.
Then in 2010 after 14 years of being single, I stepped into God’s plan. I was humbled to become the leader of a ministry called Divorce Care at our church which provided Biblical assistance to anyone hurt from the trauma of divorce. The heartaches, tears, and troubles I experienced all provided me with the information to pass on to others. Luke 4:18 … Jesus came to mend the brokenhearted … All we had to do was turn their direction back to God.
So as you sit and wonder why things are happening and you are being faithful to God, remember God has a plan. Think back to when you were very young and remember what you told God you wanted to do in life. I said I wanted to help and counsel people. Every job, every aspect of my life, God has allowed me to do that in His plan.
Dear God, help me to walk, work, and speak in your plan for my life.
