Insight: Sometimes, when we face things of life that bring us anxiety, we hold onto them rather than give them over to God. We try to control these things even if they are out of our control. When we realize we have no control over them we find ourselves even more anxious. The best thing would be to give everything over to God and trust Him with it. He is the one who is truly in control anyway. Focus on God instead of the circumstance and you may find that it brings you peace.

YES. God has every right to find us all guilty of sin. Instead He made a huge sacrifice and sent His only begotten son to die on the cross for the sins of every other person. God made the ultimate sacrifice for us. We need to come to a place where we are willing to forgive others. This process may take time. Take the time that you need to really come to a place where you can forgive others. In the Bible we are called to forgive people over and over again. In fact when Jesus was asked, His answer was 70 times 7. That is 490 times. In other words just keep forgiving.
Insight: There are many people in the world who share your opinion, however I am not one of them. God is very real. Not only have I seen Him do miraculous things that only God could do, but I have also experienced His love and power in a very real way. I have had conversations with Him and He always encourages me. Through my darkest time God was with me and there was no way I would have gotten through them as successfully as I did, without Him. If you believe that God is not real, I feel sorrow for you, because you are missing out on the most fulfilling relationship you could ever have. Have you ever asked God to reveal Himself to you or given Him a chance at all? How can you know whether something is truly real or not unless you have given it a chance?
Insight: Do you have health, food, clothing, shelter? Does the sun rise and set each day? These are God's blessings for us, sometimes we just take them for granted. I also wanted to remind you that God has an enemy. This enemy is Satan and He will do everything he can to draw you back away from God. Do not allow any problems or set backs that you come across to draw you away from God. Instead run to God and ask Him to help you get through these difficulties. Ask other Christians you know to pray for your situation as well.
Insight: I believe that God hates divorce because it tears apart the very fabric of the family entity that God created. Divorce hurts not only both people in the marriage but also any children that were conceived. God hates to see His children in pain and this is why he hates divorce. This is only half of the picture though. The other half of the picture is God is loving, forgiving and merciful. When we make mistakes He is faithful to forgive us. If you have asked God to forgive you, I believe it is forgiven and you have a new slate, however keep in mind the consequences of these issues still exist.
In your new relationship if your children do not like the person you have chosen it could cause strife between you and your children; or if their children do not like you it may cause problems there as well. The same goes for friends and families of either person. These are the consequences of the choices we make. God provides forgiveness and freedom from sin but the consequences remain. I would advise that when Scripture gives several warnings considering a particular topic, weigh the consequences carefully. |
