I divorced my husband after 16 years of marriage and 4 children. I’ve asked God to forgive me for going against His Word but honestly at the time I felt like I honestly couldn’t take it anymore. Did I seek God for help? Yes. Did I try to love more? Yes. Fid I try to submit more? Yes . Did I seek pastoral counsel? Yes, they tried to mentor my husband but he left the church. Did he hit me? Yes. Was he addicted to porn? Yes. Did he refuse to work? Yes. Did he sexually abuse me? Yes. Did he use the scripture to justify all these behaviours? Yes. Did I fear he might put me in the hospital? Yes. Did I fear for my kids? Sometimes. Is he a Christian? Yes. Am I perfect? No. But this felt too much for me. Did I divorce him simply because I was ‘unhappy’? Far from. God hate’s divorce but He also loves me and for that I am eternally grateful and throw myself at His mercy. There is abundant compassion in Christ.
I like this church😄... I'm home!
this is such a great message!
The rock that is higher than I😊
