SHE ALREADY MADE A DECISION TO SUFFER

 

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day day and I am very excited to be here today. Welcome to Maryamsjoyfullife.

So I wanted to share a something profound with you all and it is inspired by a live broadcast I did yesterday.

Here it is. Please watch

Someone came on the live broadcast and asked what to do if they are in a toxic marriage. She said that she and her husband had divorced because of abuse and then they came back together and remarried but the same situation has started again. My advise was she should use her brain. If there's abuse and no apparent change, get yourself out. She said where does compassion come into play. This is what I want to talk about today. Compassion does not mean make yourself a sacrificial lamb to abuse and suffering. It is so foolish to use compassion as a reason to stay in an abusive home. Obviously, she didn't need any advise because she has made up her mind to be compassionate and stay in the abusive or toxic relationship.

This is how we often justify a negative condition. We use a messed up belief  to cloud our judgement and then waste people time by asking them for advise or counsel when we have already made up our minds to die in an unfavorable situation. I would like to make one thing clear here, today. God doesn't take glory in your suffering. The Bible clearly states that God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. What glory will you bring to God if you die in a situation God is clearly telling you to get out of. 

I have done some things I am not proud of but one thing I am deliberately doing these days is using my brain. God did not give us intelligence for nothing. We are using religion to keep us trapped and in bondage when Jesus the Savior already obviously brought us salvation through His death. 

Don't be deceived, God does not take glory in your poverty, shame, suffering or pain. Glory comes to God when you overcome these things. 

Don't let anyone steal your joy
