Dear Brides, this chapter ["Finding Your Life"] will somehow let you know that the Lord is going to do great things in your life, how He is going to change all you dislike and bless you with a new wonderful life.

It was a very good advice to stop while reading and ask the Lord to help me understand what He wanted to tell me. I had read this chapter several times and did not like it much because it made me feel fear of what could happen in my life, as if the Lord wanted to hurt me in order to have Him. Today I saw it differently, I realized that I had lost the life I used to have and He has given me a new life already, but what I had lost is the void I used to live in, my vanity, the distance I used to have with my children that I did not realize, but now that we are really close I can see the difference of how we used to relate and how much love there is now among us. I lost the rejection I used to receive from my EH (earthly husband), and how I used to think that I had to live a life without a purpose.

Yes, today I saw that the Lord is not going to take away what is good, but what is bad in our lives and I should not fear. Even with those things that I lost once I began my relationship with the Lord. I still want to continue losing my life in all the senses that cause me fear, and I want my Lord to give me a new life, to change what still does not belong to Him and make me gain a new life. I am sure now it is going to be wonderful, right now with all my fears and with Him by my side I am asking Him to make a change, and I can trust Him that it is going to be much better to what I currently have. He will finish the work He has begun.

I think I have been too attached to my marriage restoration and that has caused me to be stuck. I feel stuck and I have been struggling with my finances, with my childrens study and projects, everything has been delayed because of all the debt that I had to be responsible for since my EH (earthly husband) left, I wonder if I have been paralized and not moved on expecting things to be as they used to be.. meaning my family being together again.

I have kept the house with the old furniture on one hand because my childrens projects and development was more important for me and I had been busy, but now I feel that I need to sell the house, find a new place, stop struggling to pay debts. Actually, what seemed impossible at the beggining is about to happen, and it is that I am about to finish paying debts and all due to Gods provision to our lives. I am asking the Lord to change my life and do something new. If I want to gain a life I need to loose it for His sake.

I wll ask the Lord to help me be closer to Him, to allow me to feel the great blessing of being His bride. I will remember that even with the trials I am going through, He is in control, and He is good and He loves me and He will make everything new for me to live the life He has for me, where nothing lacks because He is my shepherd, and He will give me the desires of my heart. I will pray for Him to fill my heart with the trust that the life He has for me is even greater to what I can imagine or think.

Dear Brides, do not fear and do not let the enemy confuse you. Loosing your life means loosing what is destroying your life, God wants and is able to give you a new life full of joy, love and real blessings.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-11

This chapter and what I am going through these days, made me think of the verse above. It fills me with hope that the Lord is in control and what He has for me and my children is great. It gives me hope that it does not depend on how I feel, but the Lord Himself is fighting my battles and will give me the victory.
