It's crazy that I am even talking about this topic right now because I dreaded it but here we go. I reviewed this term called Divorce and what it entails and the mere sound of it brings fear into my heart and this fear is not even reasonable because Divorce is just another way of saying "I'm moving on," or " I recognize God is taking you somewhere better but I don't feel good enough to be by your side and so I giveup what we have together." Society associates it with hardship, depression, failure, shame and difficulty but not me! I describe as opportunity for God to show up and prove society WRONG again!
My take is that Divorce is neither a good thing nor a bad thing but our thinking makes it so. I'm not one to give up on life when something or someone doesnt work out and I say this with the most humility and confidence. As a people living in a society that is often creating laws and naratives of limitations, we are often tempted to predict our future based on limitations and false expectations. I choose to differ. I was Christ's bride before I ever became a wife. My life is not dictated by events that worked out or didnt work out but by what I choose and the story I choose to tell myself.
As the Bible says "All things work together for MY good!" These all things include DIVORCE. G
I don't know who you are reading this but here's what I have to say, "It's all working out in your favor!"
God always has something greater and better for you but you have to want it for yourself. Cry about the breakup and dread facing the future by yourself but don't stay there. Get back up and keep going. Trust God and get better. Go out and exercise. Go out there and say hi to total strangers. I don't mean date people before you are ready but do things that will keep you hopeful about the future because BETTER is coming!
I end this post with this: whether it is a divorce or a loss, it doesnt have to be the end of your life. There's something BETTER around the corner. Reach for it in excitement and it will all make sense eventually.
Don't let anyone steal your joy!
MARYAM
