♕ Today's Promise: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”” Psalm 91:1-2
I want to thank and praise my Heavenly Husband today, He is so good, so good!
My earthly husband divorced me in October and there was an other woman in the picture for 4 years and still is. We lost our business, leaving me without an income. My earthly husband still supports me and my 2 kids but it's not enough.
But through family and friends my Heavenly Husband started to open doors for me to use my hobbies to supplement my income.
He blessed me with talents like sewing that I can now use and He always provides me with orders for clothing.
He truly provides and we always have food, clothes etc. And I am so thankful and humbled by how He truly looks after and provides when we become His brides. I also started tithing on my earthly husband's maintenance and whatever I earn from making clothes and doing nails. I never ask my earthly husband to provide anything even the maintenance money, and if he forgets I ask my Heavenly Husband to remind him and He always does.
I took off my wedding ring after the divorce but my earthly husband immediately wanted it back to sell it. At first I didn't want to because it had sentimental value and kept it for when we get remarried (I just believe because that's what He told me).
According to the South Africa law, I also didn't have to give it back since it counts as a gift. But my Heavenly Husband told me to sacrifice the ring, so I did. He told me to hang on and there is a reason. My earthly husband sold the ring and booked a holiday for him and the kids over Christmas. Later I found out that he was planning to take the other woman and her kids as well.
I was so upset because I didn't want to expose my kids to her. But again my Heavenly Husband told me to make the sacrifice, there is a reason. All I can say is that this past Christmas week was terrible but like my Heavenly Husband told me, just leave the children in His hands, He will protect them and be with them and Who better to look after your children?
Me and my earthly husband really didn't talk a lot since before the divorce up till now. I didn't fight the divorce and my Heavenly Husband told me it's going to happen.
There were a lot of hurt and and a huge hate wall up. I've been praying and fasting to completely let go.
When I took the kids to his place earlier today we talked for the first time and really opened up about some things that happened in the past. And he told me this holiday opened his eyes and he doesn't know if his relationship with the other woman will work! He hugged me for a long time and he was close to tears.
That was the reason my Heavenly Husband told me to make the sacrifice! And He told me it will be for my good! He is starting to work in my earthly husband's heart!
He is so, so good and faithful and even on Christmas day when I was so sad because my kids weren't with me, He comforted me and held me tight. During the sleepless nights, He was with me. He caught every tear in a bottle and I was able to smile because I have Him!
Although there is no talk about reconciliation yet I'm at peace because I know He is at work in my earthly husband’s life and my life. I still need changing but I know He will make it happen in His perfect timing.
