Hello friends. I've been resisting really contributing to my relationship with God for a while now, other than church and fleeting prayers. Part of this has included detachment from His amazing word, sadly!!
Tonight I finally dug back in after about three weeks of nothing, and I loved this word:
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:7-10).
I'm clinging to this truth tonight. I feel tired and sad. My husband's currently skyping with a female friend who recently returned from the US to her home country. It's a friendship that I've always struggled with because it began right around when I found out about his affair. Tonight my victory is simply that I've chosen to turn on praise music so I'm not tempted to try and hear every word he says in the next room. It's not my business... God has got this and I really just need to remember that and let go.
Praying for you guys- even though I have been praying less you are all always in my thoughts and prayers!
