Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

I Can't Predict The Future

July 15, 2008
I had a comment today, from someone I love, that I’ve decided not to post. It’s not because the comment made is not valid, because it is. It’s just that this is my personal blog where I choose the subject to write about and I choose to write my feelings here.

The separation between my husband and myself is difficult - and has caused a great deal of pain. I don’t point blame because there’s enough blame for the failure of our marriage - for both of us. I choose not to write about the reasons for the separation here, because I feel that it’s a very private matter between just the two of us and don’t feel it appropriate to share it with others.

I want to say that my husband is a good man with a huge heart! That has never been an issue, but that’s all I’m going to say! I want the very best for him always.

I don’t write about his pain and his difficulties because I don’t live it! I live with my own - and that’s all I can manage to deal with now. I was the one to leave our home - but it was a choice made after a lot of thought, a lot of crying, time spent in prayer, trying to find a reason to belive that things would be better - I still came to the same conclusion.

I certainly am not without blame! What I hold onto now is God’s love and his mercy. I, too, am alone. I, too, am in pain. We are still married, but living apart and I don’t know what the future holds. Only God knows and I believe that He will guide me in the direction and down the paths that are right.

In His Love and Blessings
