"It is because of the hardness of your heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives ; In the beginning it was not so "(Matthew 19: 8).

 

Whatever causes a couple to divorce, the final reality remains the same: it causes a lot of suffering in the spouses, their entourage, and especially in their children.
The trivialization of divorce (in France, more than one couple out of two divorced in 2015), does not detract from the traumas it leaves. Healing sometimes takes many years ; Faith, in this God who loves us, can help restore wounded hearts.

What must be borne in mind from what the Bible teaches is that divorce is not God's original plan for human beings. Plan A, taught in the Bible, is the perenniality of marriage, just as God's plan A for men is that they live without sin. Sin having entered the world, the hardness of the hearts has undermined Plan A.
Yet God never ceased to love his creature. He had compassion for the sinners we are, no matter what the faults are. Thus, just as without approving sin God has compassion for sinners, without approving divorce, God has compassion for the divorced. He is always ready to forgive those who have missed Plan A. When we go through this trauma, it is good to confide in God's grace and come out of both the guilt and the guilt of the other .

Divine forgiveness exists, for the divorced, as for all sinners whoever they may be. This forgiveness is found in repentance. Religious legalism can lead, some Christian circles, to place on the divorced an indelible spot. In some circles, a pimp, a dealer, a bandit, a fickle ... repentant, will be able to serve God, but not a divorced repentant. In the drama of divorce, the drama of recurrent guilt is added. My experience has shown me that for those who have lived a sincere repentance, God has opened doors so that they may continue to serve in one way or another. God shows us that there is a reinsertion within the body of Christ, and in service, for Christians who have committed a sin, whatever it may be, and who have really repented.

Have you gone through this drama ? Are you dived right now ? The time has come to repent of missing Plan A, and to ask God to help you get out of guilt and / or resentment.

My prayer on this day :

Lord, you know the sufferings engendered by my divorce, forgive me, heal my wounded soul, help me to receive your forgiveness. Thank you because you want to restore my life. Bless my children and my family. Amen !
