♕ Today's Promise: “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Dear Brides,
This chapter called "They Don't Have it" gives you a true view on how YES!!!, forgiving is possible with Him, and when we forgive and realize our true source of everything is Him, we will never be in want again.
When I started reading this lesson (HHM "They Don't Have it"), at times I may think, (which I know I shouldn't) like "oh this is something I already know". But, as I continued reading, I was so refreshed and renewed (as I always am when I reread the lessons here) that I felt led to write a journal. This lesson brought me back to when I first came to RMI and how helpless and distraught I was. I was "looking" for help everywhere and being so disappointed because nothing worked. Church, friends, family, professional counselors. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE!!! Until one day, the RYM (Restore Your Marriage) book came into my hands. I remember falling to my knees and just exhausted cried out to God saying, "I have listened to everyone that would listen and I can't anymore. Now I want to hear You. What do you have to say to me." Then, I read the book and my RJ (restoration journey) has been extraordinary.
Although I have been on my RJ for so many years, this is the new life He has given me and I need to be reminded that although I have a restored marriage and EH (earthly husband), I cannot depend on anyone but Him. He still needs to be my source of everything. My true happiness, peace, love and strength. I have gone through so many obstacles, but having my HH (Heavenly Husband) I have been able to stay firm on the ROCK (my HH) and be at peace no matter what. He fills me like no other and our Love relationship is incomparable to anything this world can give.
I know that I must go to Him for everything. I will confess at times, I may say or do things without even thinking, but I try to always have time alone to share with Him my concerns or desires, but most of the time we are talking all day. It's funny because my EH (earthly husband) always says I am talking to myself. I just smile because it is really with my HH (Heavenly Husband). I want to have an open communication always with Him and just share my heart.
Dear Brides,
This lesson, although many may be in different parts of your RJ (restoration journey), is so important to read, understand and do. Surrender all to Him and start accepting His love and the true source to all your needs. As you walk, you will see He is all you need, want and live for.

“For your Husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts [who by the way means He is a warrior]; and your Redeemer [which means He pays any outstanding debt in your life: emotional, mental, spiritual and physical] is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth." Isaiah 54:5
“'For the Lord has called you, [will you answer?] like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,' Says your God.” Isaiah 54:4-6
