While divorce is such a delicate subject dealing with the issue of divorce and separation can be devastating to all parties involved. If you do not have children then that will help lighten the load of your domestic disputes, but if you do have children it makes the matter more complicated to experience and deal with. I do not condone it, but sometimes and unfortunately it’s necessary due to the current domestic laws that protect our legal rights. The bible is very clear on the subject of divorce and Jesus gave an excellent reason why people do not stay married. He simply stated it's because of the hardness of our hearts. This is the real reason why people get divorced. We choose not to submit to God's will and we also have problems with forgiving people who have hurt us. Divorce is a messy thing and I do not wish it on anyone.

I’ve been through two of them myself and know from first hand experience there’s a process of healing you have to go through before you can move on with your life. Let God heal you, ask God for forgiveness, learn how to forgive yourself first; and then step out on faith knowing you have been forgiven. Your life will be restored in such a way that you will allow the Holy Spirit to minister and lead you in every area of your life. Do not let divorce cripple you or hold you hostage into thinking you cannot be used by God. That’s the trick of the enemy whether it’s the devil or the suggestions he may put in your mind from time to time. I want you to know that God is able to do anything but fail. Though you may fall, the bible teaches that a righteous man gets back up. Proverbs 24:16. While I know this is such a sensitive topic this is very personal to me; If you are happily married then great; but if you are going through the challenges of family separation and contemplating divorce then I want to encourage you to proceed with caution and a lot of prayer.

It’s no joke and it’s a serious issue that happens to even good people such as yourself. The consequences are insurmountable meaning you will go through the process of pain with emotion scars that could last a lifetime. Hopefully, you will do what I’ve suggested above and get yourself back on the right track toward the healing process. Check out these scripture references and share your feedback on the issues. I don't want to debate scripture; I just want you to realize you can go on with your life and do what God has called you to do. I encourage you to be strengthen as you go through this drama in your life. Romans 8:28, Romans 12:18, Matthew 19:1-9, Ephesians 5:21, Matthew 6:14, 15, I John 1:9.

Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3.
