“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
Dear Brides, first, I come to give thanks and praise to my Beloved Lord for being my Rock, for accompanying me and giving me strength every day on this Journey.
When I arrived here, I read the testimonies and trials the Brides were going through, and that peace they had, despite everything they were going through, gave me strength. Now that I look around, I can see that peace, which only He can give me, to bear everything around me. And I see myself, and I say, Beloved, I couldn't do it on my own. It is You, His Spirit, who helps me to be silent, to keep quiet, to not ask questions, and yet to give, and to turn the other cheek time and time again.
I have a friendship with my earthly husband, and you know, sometimes it seems so strange to me, to have a friendship with your husband, as if we were just friends. But, we're there. He comes out of the house very often, as I've told you. I give him food to take home, he texts me, he tells me about his work. And even so, it's difficult because he's with someone else, because he posts photos on his WhatsApp with that person, and yet, he always comes looking for me. And so, I tell my Beloved, I do everything as if it were for You. I prepare food for him, I bring him food when he asks, and I don't ask, I don't say anything else.
Beloved, I write this to give strength to the new Brides. I know it's not easy to do it, to give without expecting, to give because it is what Our Beloved asks of us, and to remain silent. But one day you will look around and say, like me, "Lord, this peace can only come from You, because I know I don't have the strength to do it." And He will strengthen them, and as Perla said in a testimony, we are the biggest fools to others who see us.
But, you know, we are blessed because we are in obedience, because we are going the extra mile, and I don't know what my Beloved has for me, but I only know that I will continue to be the biggest fool if it means following the principles we have learned here.
Keep going, let us hold on to the peace that only He can give us, to continue this journey to the end that our Beloved Husband has for each of us.
And praise and glorification be Our Lord, who loves us and renews us with His spiritual strength, to overcome evil with good.
Thank you for this wonderful praise report!
I, too, am experiencing the same. Some sort of friendship. My EH messages me rarely, and when he does he asks how I’m doing. That he’s sorry for everything. One time he called just to share his situation with someone else. My EH does not even know why he is sharing all those information with me. I believe it’s because he feels pouring out his heart is safe with me, just like what our HH does when we pour our hearts to Him. That whatever he says and does I will not judge him, just as we are commanded to do so.
The peace of God just covers me and sheilds my heart. It’s like my HH’s love is covering my heart that nothing can peirce through it anymore. No longer experiencing pain, being silent and not asking questions about what my EH is sharing with me. It’s only Him who can do it through me.
Thank you for reminding me that what we are doing for our EH is due to our obedience to Him. Not to please our EH but to please our one and only King.
Dear Liza,
This morning, as I was reading your post, I found myself in a situation I never thought I could face with such peace.
My EH told me he needed to go back to his former house—the one he used to live in with the other woman—and that they had to go there together. When he told me that, I simply said:
“It’s okay, don’t worry. Do what you need to do.”
And right after that, I started praising my LORD for this peace that surpasses all understanding.
Honestly, I’m amazed to see how our BELOVED heals us from everything that once made us tremble with fear or anger.
Where does this peace come from? This gentle strength? From Him—our MC, our faithful Husband. 💛
I’m thanking Him for this new step in my restoration. 🌸
