Prayerfully and with my husband's blessing, Id like to share a testimony about my marriage. It is for those who may be struggling in their lives.
Though I knew God, I transgressed. Even though I thought myself spiritually superior to my husband, it was me who was running from the marriage as a prodigal wife.
At my lowest point, I pursued another relationship that, while not the furthest physically, was still highly inappropriate.
I say this not to glory in my sin, but for what comes next: the power of God to shift a broken situation.
For a while, though I considered myself to be spiritually better than my husband, it was he who forgave me wholeheartedly in a way I never thought possible.
The shame and the guilt I felt were still overwhelming. But I read in Ezekiel 18, how someone wicked like me could make it right.
Ezekiel 18:27
King James Version
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
See, God does not delight in punishing us for our sin but desires that we turn from it, and go after Him.
He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him through Jesus the Messiah. All those who cry out to Him and turn from their sin can be saved.
Today, my marriage is the strongest it's ever been and continues to get better all the time. God used the betrayal to expose the weak areas in our relationship and to strengthen the bond that we have as husband and wife.
God has restored me, forgiven me, and blessed me with such a wonderful life, I can hardly believe it sometimes. He used the lowest moments of my life to invite me to walk with Him humbly and with a quickened heart.
He wants to bless us. But we must yield total and complete control to Him. Ultimately we must surrender to His ways. Then He can bless our obedience.
