♕ Today's Promise: "For your Creator is your husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth." Isaiah 54: 5
From ~ Marta in Paraná
Each day I can feel the love of my Beloved in such a wonderful way, that tears flow from my eyes, when I think of how much I have been dependent on people, and how much at the beginning of my journey I wished people to do for me or even feel sorry for everything I was experiencing. To tell you the truth, I often made myself a victim, and I cried, and I was sorry, because I was experiencing this situation, which at the time was so painful and it hurt my heart to be living.
Today, I have His peace. I am sure that my dependence has to be on Him and His Love and care for me and our daughter. Last week He allowed me to go through some situations that I needed to be quiet about, and just wait for His action.
The kitchen sink was clogged and there was no water going down at all, I had to spend 3 days removing the water from the dishes with a plastic bowl, I confess that I had moments when I cried, asking Him to help me as a Husband, because as I learned here, I didn't want to turn to anyone other than Him. I know that He allowed me to spend these days a little distressing, to work on myself, and to confirm my total dependence on Him. On the fourth day He sent my brother-in-law, who was warned by my nephew, without having commented on anything, but who saw the situation that was going on, and the problem was remedied.
Another miracle was also the front of the house, which had a very high bush on the sidewalk, and every time I arrived at the gate I thought: "this bush needs to be cut". But I didn't take any action either, I just took it to Him, and gave it to Him to take care of for me. Of course, that as a careful Husband that He is, He did far beyond what I needed. On Monday very early I woke up to a noise of people talking and machines working, and when I looked out of my bedroom window I saw men and machines working and cleaning our street. Yes dear, my Beloved brought the weeding and general cleaning of our street through the city hall. Things that had never happened before, weeding the sidewalks of the houses, because they only did the cleaning on the street. But this time, the service was complete. Now I look at the front of the house and it is so clean, and I can once again thank Him for answering each of my petitions to Him.
And to complete the week, I was also having problems with the garbage here at home. We have garbage collection on Mondays and Thursdays, and I don't have a trash can that can put the collected garbage on other days, so I always put it in a corner of the house, which was without a lid, so always when I put it the garbage there the next day the bags were torn by the cats of the neighbors who came into the house and made the biggest mess. It was very frustrating to see all that garbage scattered. But, again, He took care of that for me too. On Thursday I brought a company that was walking around the neighborhood selling and installing trash bins for a price well below the market, and even dividing it into installments that I can pay, without having to leave the house... Is it or is it not a wonderful Husband thing?
I just have to thank Him, not only for all this care for us, but also for being more and more giving me the opportunity to live by His side as a Bride, and for being the Father so present and attentive to our daughter. Thank you my Husband, every day I love you more and more.
