Please write a short note of Encouragement to this dear bride Delisa:
I need guidance I had recently emailed about my husband returning from us being divorced/ seperated for three years . He’s been home for almost 4 months now , he’s been sleeping on the couch the whole time , we live as roommates , he’s always out of the home and he’s gone for at least 8 hours or more throughout the day besides work . He never invest time into me or our children .
I try to be intentional with spending time but he always have plans . He’s ...
MOST of what Delisa shared isn't what we want to publish on Encouraging Women. Instead, it's important to let Delisa know what lesson GOD used to or promises GOD used to look at yourself and find your Husband who changed you.
Dear Delisa. praise the Lord your husband is home! It’s the best time to show what changes the Lord has made in you. I encourage you to continue practicing letting go if you have not yet and don’t forget to journal –

Have you had the chance to read the Wise Woman Book? I would encourage you also to read the chapter “Kindness on Her tongue”. “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
Continue to rest in the Lord and pray incessantly. Know that your work in Christ will not be in vain. “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
If you are looking to see changes, they start with YOU.
My husband has left again Thank you from Delisa
Dear precious Delisa I am so sorry for your hurt but I agree with Gioia, start thanking our wonderful Lord that your husband is home. Please praise the Lord for every circumstance (and if you haven’t read prison to praise, please do, it changed my life).
And I want to really encourage you to make our wonderful Lord your Heavenly Husband, because the moment the Lord became my Heavenly Husband, my focus and everything changed). Enjoy your time with our wonderful Lord while He will be the One to bring all the change.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1T5:16-18 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205%3A16-18&version=NIV
“No matter who you are, the truth is, if you look to a man or several men to experience love—you will be disappointed—and often destroyed. You may be, at present, single, separated, divorced, remarried, #widowed, or married to a wonderful husband. Almost all women feel unloved, misunderstood—and there is no amount of talking or explaining what you want and need to any man that will alter this.” – https://loveatlast.org/
Dear Delisa, I totally can relate to the story I went through and I am still going a bit through the same. There is one verse that the Lord would show me often when I was unhappy with my circumstances. First, he would say for me to Trust Him. Then these verses ministered a lot to me:
1. Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and on earth, In the seas and in all deep places. Psalms 135:6 NKJV
2.“Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds
among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’? Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’ Isaiah 45:9-10, this verse goes together with the lesson 2 RYM book (https://hopeatlast.com/c1/d2-chapter-2-the-potter-and-the-clay/)
When He spoke with me through these verses he was serious, and I stopped complaining about these circumstances and listened like a little child and just trusted. Actually, those circumstances helped me to let go and focus more on HIM, it is all His doing, there were at the same time a lot of things that God wanted to work on me, making me stronger and a better Bride for Him.
Definitely take it as an opportunity for you to be closer to your Beloved, because it helped me to stay focused on my Beloved and to get to know Him more intimately, trials and adversity are the path to more intimacy. And I am passionate about intimacy with the Lord, He was always there with me when going through it.
Dear Delisa, God is good with us your husband is home with you, dont look at the flaws look and be thankfull for the blessings always. He has never stop working for you now continue to invest more time with your Heavenly Husband and he will show the right way to go read the Wise woman book or course 3 https://hopeatlast.com/c3/ and live the principles showed there. make Him your rock especially now when you feel ignored know that He sees you and wants you to know that He is right there for you. Psalm 16:11
New Living Translation
11 You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.[a]
Enjoy your time with Him , go to your prayer room, and become intimate with Him.
Chere Delisa
j avoue que ce que tu vie est humainement insuportable mais pour nous qui avons eu la chance d etre a RMI nous savons qu il est ecrit que RIEN N’EST IMPOSSIBLE A DIEU
et moi la leçon de lacher prise m a beaucoup aider.met en pratique les principes qu on apprend ici et tu verra la Gloire de Dieu. detourne tes regards de ton MT et tourne les vers ton MC qui a entre ses mains le coeur de ton MT et il le dirige ou il veut 😊
querida Delisa, si tú esposo está en casa ciertamente fue la voluntad de nuestro amado y no la tuya la que lo trajo, así pues que confía, recuerda que” aquel que inicio en vosotros la buena obra, es fiel para perfeccionarla”. y mientras confía descansa en el Señor, llenate de su amor, Él está probando siempre nuestro corazón, que verá pues en el? los frutos del espíritu Santo, o vera a una mujer insatisfecha y contenciosa? deléitate en el señor amada.
Dear Delisa, if your husband is at home it was certainly the will of our beloved and not yours that brought him, so trust, remember that “he who began a good work in you is faithful to perfect it.” and while you trust, rest in the Lord, fill yourself with his love, He is always testing our hearts, what will he see in it? the fruits of the Holy Spirit, or will you see a dissatisfied and contentious woman? Delight yourself in the Lord, beloved.
Dear Delissa just would like to add an update, yesterday while asleep E.H. arrived at home at 4 in the morning, while I was asleep, I woke up disrupted because normally he comes home from work from 1-2 am.
Again the hurt was trying to crip in, and I was dueling on what was happening by thinking it over, and over again. In my mourning quiet time with the Lord, I was trying to spend time with Him in his word like always, but the thoughts of how E.H. could do this started assailing my mind again. Then while speaking with my Love he said, as He forgives I must also forgive, so I forgave E.H. and I made a prayer of surrender and asked the Lord to pull me back together because I couldn’t, and He just removed everything like that. He did! I couldn’t do it. Amazingly and supernaturally. I went to practice my Zumba steps for my Zumba class coming up soon. Would love for you to join me in praising the Lord together.
