If you live by the law, you end up drowning in a mess of confusion. Your mate won’t cooperate with a reasonable request, and your efforts to persuade have no effect. You try different approaches, and you pray about it, but it gets worse. You see more and more negative until you’re drowning in confusion and finally, divorce appears to be the only way out. This is the world’s gospel: a way out, relief, escape, peace, freedom. The world is taking you in and making you its disciple. “You deserve better than this. You’re not happy. This isn’t working. You didn’t marry the right one.” This thinking gets into your heart, and it flows through your veins and takes control of your whole being.
There actually is a way out of this mess: a third option. It does not require you to carry a crushing burden or to replace your mate with someone easier. Apart from the works of the law comes the real solution: knowing the person that God gave you. I make mistakes, but I’m not a mistake. God put us together, and He will work things out.
You need to be free from that worldly thinking. You need to divorce yourself from that negative pattern. You need to fight that spirit that wars against your marriage and against your soul.
If you put the rules ahead of the relationship, you will have your conditions, but only temporarily. If you love the person, you eventually have both. |
