Bible Note: Part 2: I will repeat my best advise: 1st draw very close to the Father (he will be your strength), let him give you the peace you need especially now...no one else can give that to you as he knows you better than anyone ever will. 2nd, Don't continually replay how bad the situation is in your head and heart over and over again...this will weaken your spirit and make your heart very weary. I'm not saying to forget about the problem at hand, just don't continually focus upon it. Let it rest in Gods hands, and when you find youself picking these cares back up again, place it right back in his hands again. This is something that needs to be practiced. We are human and our nature is to always want to be in complete contol of our lives. 3rd, it is easy not to see the Forrest though the trees. Stop and think for a minute, putting your own feelings aside right now, about what She might be feeling, or why she feels the way she does. It could be something more deep rooted than what you realize. She could even maybe be experiencing depression (lack of wanting to clean the house), the baby? These are signs of that, and the Baby definatly would be a reason. I am not saying that you feelings are not imporatant, but remember God considers all things, tries all things and is fair and just. When we make a descison that involves more than one person, we need to consider all things. What you do that may be good for you, may be very bad for her or the children. 4th, have your tried counseling? If yo have and you tried it toghether and it did not work, because sometimes together is not good as it only flares up more anger, etc. How about her going to coulseling on her own, she may need to discuss some private things that she doesn't feel that she can discuss with you. Seek out a Christain coulselor, not one from a Church, but a licensed professional. There are some out there. They would be best becasue they have the proper counseling background with a spirital, biblical view as well. I don't know what else more to say, except that I can feel for you and I know that God will show you...but you are best to stay calm, harness the emotions, seek Gods council, not a lot of peoples council as it can oftentimes be more confusing. Our God is not the author of confusion, but of peace and Love. Don't jump ahead of the Lord on your decision making, he will show you in his time. Gods, Love. Peace and guidance to you my friend....Hang in there!! |
