'Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked;' G37
When I read wLL 29 "Eyes were open" I thought about my marriage, I thought I had my life together, I thought I had security and peace because I was in a marriage. Yes, there were arguments and I was living in sin, but I didn't think about my marriage failing.
Until it did, I learned that I was stuck in the world's lies and vision of how a marriage should be.
Everything that seemed good in my eyes was suddenly a big mess, my life and marriage completely fell apart because I believed the lies of the enemy.
I was susceptible to temptations and lies, and there are still times when I give in to temptations that cause me to be weak. When I fall into temptations I feel so stupid for giving in again when I have already learned so much on this journey.
I am so thankful that I can go to Him with my guilt and He lovingly stands by me. I am amazed at His faithfulness to me, it gives me peace that He helps me in my struggle.
I would prefer not to experience any struggle in my life, but I know that it is part of it. He ensures that it is a process in which I learn to turn my back on sin and focus my heart on Him.
Dear Women, I want to encourage you to come closer and closer to Him because He wants you to be His bride. When we seek Him, the enemy often uses the same trick to keep us from Him. The enemy tells us that we are not good enough, or have too little faith or are simply too sinful to be His bride.
"I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, As to what you will tell him: For I am lovesick.” S5:8
When you think about these texts you learn how great His love is for us as brides. He wants us all to Himself, if we experience His love, we will be lovesick with love for Him. He is ours and we are His!!
