♕ Today's Promise: “‘For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken,’ Says the LORD who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:10
I want to thank my God for all that He has done for me. Six months ago, my husband started a new job in another country. I was supposed to join him after two months, but as soon as he got there, he started to act differently, and I became afraid and jealous. We had several arguments, and one month after he left, he said he wasn’t coming back and he didn’t want me there with him. He said our marriage had many problems and he didn’t even know why he married me, because he wasn’t sure if he had loved me from the very beginning.
Of course, I was heartbroken. I became really depressed, and I didn’t know what to do. I already had quit my job to be with him, and now I was lonely and without any money to support myself. My husband said that he didn’t have money to send me, and that was it. I was left with all the bills (rent, phones, credit cards, etc.). He said he was looking for somebody else to love and wanted to be loved, and I wasn’t welcome where he was, because at any time another person could be in the picture.
I miraculously found RMI, out of nowhere. I wasn’t even looking for the site on my phone. I don’t remember exactly what I typed, but there it was! As soon as I saw it, I started to take the online courses, one after the other. It opened my eyes, and I was able to see my mistakes and failures.
I changed all the wrongs immediately. I didn’t beg as before, nor call or ask for money as before.
I used all my energy to focus on the books I’d ordered from Encouraging Bookstore, and on your free courses, and I began to read through the Bible. I started to pray fervently, asking God to provide for my needs. I learned and began tithing to my storehouse from money I earned cleaning a few houses in my building. I asked my Heavenly Husband, if it was His will, to have my husband begin paying the bills.
My earthly husband started to focus his attention on me after some months. He called me often and asked me about the bills, and I just answered his questions honestly, but I never asked him for anything. Then one day, he said, “I’ll send you some money each week,” and he did.
Then, in one of the courses, Erin said if we ever had been unfaithful, we had to confess this to our spouse (Proverbs 28:13). I thought, “No way!” It happened 4 years ago, and nobody knew about it, except for me and the other guy. My husband will never forget that. So I just turned the page and forgot about it. Some weeks later, I read in the online courses that no matter how long ago the infidelity happened, I had to confess. So I started to panic. I prayed, to ask God to show me His will (not Erin’s). Then, one day at church, a person asked me to participate on the platform by reading a verse. Then I saw the verse was: “He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion”!!!
Reading Proverbs 28:13, I immediately thought of my infidelity, and I said, “Ok God, You need to confirm this once again, like Gideon’s story.” The next day I said, “I’m going to read my Bible, and if it’s true that You, God, want me to tell my EH today, let me know.” So I opened the Psalms and Proverbs reading. I stopped when I saw Psalm 51 that said at the beginning, “A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had gone into Bathsheba.” That was the answer for me. If David committed adultery and later was confronted by Nathan, I had to obey, or I would be confronted by God. So I confessed to my husband by phone. He was shocked and sooo hurt. He didn’t say much, but days later, he asked for a divorce. I just prayed and stayed faithful to God’s will. My EH stopped sending money, but my HH sent me a job.
I honestly didn’t know what God did, but as always, He never fails.
My husband just returned home 2 weeks ago, and he decided not to leave again. I keep praising Him for not letting another woman get into our lives and for my EH who hugs me all night. My Jesus forgave me, and so did my EH, too.
I love You with all my heart and long to spend every moment with You, My Love!!
Here are a few Bible Verses He gave me during my journey.
“Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He WAITS on high to have compassion on you For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him" (Isaiah 30:18).
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:13-14).
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we can ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
‘For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so, through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ’ (2 Corinthians 1:20-21).
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10).
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:4-6).
