At times when God speaks, it’s a still small voice…sometimes even a whisper. And it’s at times like these that He invites us to be still and know that He is God (Psalms 46:10).

Becoming a forgiving wife ( Day 11)

.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do

(Colossians 3: 12, 13)

.

Someone once said “Men never remember and women never forget.”

Whenever I’ve mentioned this quote it always sets off a round of laughs… I guess it’s because we ironically see how true this is!

Quietly introspect and see how quickly it is you can pull out a list from the past several years in your marriage of all the ways your husband has “wronged” you.

Long list?

 

We have assured our husbands that we forgive them but God forbid an argument arises, all those faults and errors that we’ve said we’ve forgiven our spouses for, will be blurted out faster than you can say “Oopsy”.

 

Today’s whisper is short but the “take home” nugget is crucial…

God wants us to become wives who forgive our husbands.
Forgiveness releases bitterness
Forgiveness releases hurt and
Forgiveness makes room for healing in a relationship.

 

I admit it isn’t easy to forgive but if you deal with “that” issue with God’s help, He WILL help you heal and forgive because His desire for our marriages is harmony, love and peace…yes, an abundance of the three.

I pray that you will find comfort, encouragement and hope as you lean close to listen to God’s Whisper for your situation today.

Be blessed!

A big thank you to The Nester for triggering off a desire within me to do this…
I’m excited to see what God will do through this!
