☊ PRAISE from Bernie

Beloved brides,

I've been feeling different for a few weeks now. I was thinking about what it would be and finally I think I know what it is. I feel like I'm in the "right place". Every time I read how brides wrote about being completely content with just living with Him, I wished I could be like that too. And it's here!! The evil one has tried to convince me otherwise several times with his lies, but my Love constantly confirms me in this.

I live every day full of joy. Don't get me wrong, I too sometimes have a bad and irritable mood, or a difficult day, but nevertheless I have a kind of unceasing joy and satisfaction in my heart. My heart is full of peace and gratitude and I praise Him for it every morning and evening when I lie down and during the day 😀

Beloved, it took me 4 years to get to this place, so I want to encourage you not to give up. He prepared a different path for each of us, because He knows us best. How I thank Him for leading me into the wilderness to allure me- what a grace!!

He is the reason and meaning of everything, He is the one who completes us and make us complete, no earthly cheap romance, but true, faithful, infinite love and acceptance.

I remember during my restoration journey wondering if I would ever be able to come to terms with possibly living without a man for the rest of my life. It was unimaginable to me and it always made me cry a lot. But little by little the truth that I came to know set me free and today I want to dance and sing when I think about life alone with Him!

The only reason (currently acceptable to me) for restoring my marriage would be that it would be for His praise and glory. I realized that no one and nothing can replace Him, no matter how hard they try. My Beloved cleansed my heart from the idol that stood in the way of Him being the center of my life and in the first place. I want to stick with it for the rest of my life \o/

“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.“ Ezekiel 36:25-26

“Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.“ Hosea 2:14

“You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.“ Psalm 30:11-12
