Though I've never legally married RMI has given me help to find hope in Him. Last night I cried all night, and even though my life is not yet rosy. After yesterday, when I felt lost and not knowing what the Lord expected from me because my situation is worsening more and more and but He's helping me stay humble and follow the truth given through His Word.
Even though nothing positively began changing for the time in my point of view, I asked the Lord a concrete sign. Something that would indicate what He wants from me.
Just now I woke up, and I had an email that I hadn't expected. Thank God, Glory to God in this email it included all the answers to my questions!
Yes I cannot join my life to someone I am not legally married to. And even my close friends, yes God has made sure that I am alone in this arid desert. You allowed me to have a resilient force, to humbly face my mistakes and confess my sins, to have the courage to reject my ego and make myself humble before You and to all those I have hurt.
Glory to God!
I promised God that, while remaining discreet for the moment, the day my relationship will be restored, then I will sing His praises loudly. People do not know His power, nor the power of love that only HE can instill in our Hearts. People want real, visible facts to believe in like my testimony.
I have always believed in the power of love and God's power, so today I urge everyone to face our mistakes and repent and to finally succeed in putting the Lord at the center of your life where I have now put Him.
I know that this week will be very difficult for me, I know that the night will be short and my sleep will be nonexistent or restless sleep, but I ask God to help me keep this faith in me, Amen.
"He does according to His will ..." (Dan 4:31)
Yes, the Lord did according to His will, and as I will continue to struggle in the place where I am imprisoned, the Lord will not release me because I would not have changed had He not sent me into this wilderness, in this prison where I am.
May my heart be open to hear more of the truth and to finally let go !!

Do you want to PRAISE Him for how He's shown you what you needed to know? Aren't you thankful that Elise was so open and shared her praise with you an Encouraging Woman?
Remember, Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
And Psalm 100:4 tells us HOW to Enter— “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
Be sure to submit a Praise Report today and enter through that narrow gate few ever find!
