When God opens your eyes to see what he has been trying to show you....for years. Long suffering is not for the faint of heart, but God is faithful and just! You're a good good father!
"And Elisha prayed, and said, "Lord I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha!"
Have you ever tried to hold on to something so tightly and then you realize it wasn't even there in the first place?
As a little girl she dreamed of a daddy holding her tight during the storm, but She soon learned she could handle it alone, at least she thought.
She dreamed of a husband and a best friend, a partner in which to "do" life with. So she jumped in so desperately wanting to fulfill this desire for love. She wanted love, this little girl was just waiting for someone to wrap their arms around her and tell her she's beautiful and promise to be with her and love her even when times were tough. Running wasn't an option. She was tough and steadfast and knew that together they could accomplish anything, with the Savior of course.
She knew before she got married that her husband didn't really love her, but she said yes thinking she could create a fairy tale out of life. She believed she could make him love her.
Life Lesson #1 "It's impossible to make someone love you!"
She begged and pleaded for his time, a date, a friendship, but his agenda was set and she wasn't part of it.
She knows all the right answers, to keep your eyes on Christ not the situation, to give it to God and cast your cares on Him. She prays for her husband and trusts God in the darkness. She tells herself she is in a boat with waves crashing and the boat is rocking and she is safe because God's got this. She knows Christ loves her, but why can't she see answers?
Long suffering is not her friend.
Maybe she is seeing answers, but it isnt the way she thought it would end. She thought her husband would come running back because he realized how much he loved her, but that's not it. He only loves her if he can do what he wants when he wants. He loves her if she lets her children do what they want. If she doesn't ruffle feathers and talk about anything that will upset him or cause him to feel, he will love her. If she doesn't show emotion or cry he will love her.
Love is a verb and she is realizing that his love isn't really love at all, its control and manipulation. His love is conditional.
She hungers for a marriage that glorifies the Lord, and a husband that will lead her family. There is a reason for this darkness. The Lord wants to use broken people, but Lord she is broken and her heart is pleading for redemption. Bring the story where you are glorified and she can smile and feel joy. Joy is from the Lord and she knows it, but feels lost and confused.
She is strong and will continue to war, but God please hear this prayer and bring restoration.
The valley is dark Lord and she begs for light.
"Thy word is a Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Psalm 119
Lord, it feels like her light is burning out, bring the spot light God.
