Am I Ready to Remarry?ናሙና

Day 4 - Prioritising Shared Faith

I used to believe that if I found a man I genuinely liked, even if he wasn't a Christian, it would be alright. I used to say, "God will change his heart." However, as I continued to get closer to God, I came to understand that the most crucial trait I needed in my future husband was his deep love for God, just like my own. Nothing less would be good enough for me or be what God wanted for me.

I don't have any fancy stories to share, but I can offer you an unvarnished truth, and it's right from the pages of scripture. Making sure you share the same faith and love for God should be right at the top of your priority list.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"

As you consider a remarriage, remember the profound impact of shared faith in a relationship. The apostle Paul's words remind us that a partnership thrives when both individuals share a spiritual connection. Consider the beauty of shared faith in a relationship. Just as light and darkness cannot coexist, the partnership between two believers can be a harmonious blend of values, understanding, and spiritual growth.

Reflection: Reflect on your personal journey of faith and how it shapes your desires for a partner. Are there qualities of faith that you believe are non-negotiable in a potential relationship? How can you actively seek a partner whose faith complements your own?

Prayer: Gracious God, I recognise the significance of a shared faith in a relationship. Guide me as I seek a partner for remarriage. Help me find someone whose heart is devoted to You and whose faith complements mine. May our shared beliefs strengthen our bond and our journey together. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
