Am I Ready to Remarry?نمونہ
Day 1 - Finding Healing in Wholeness
In 2015 I lost my husband at the age of 30. Life was unimaginably hard. I turned to alcohol, sex and marijuana to try and heal my pain. All of which led me down a round of darkness that ultimately led to a mental breakdown and suicidal thoughts. In 2018 I was desperate and in despair, but an encounter with Jesus started me on a journey of transformation.
One of those journeys was a place where I started to think about dating and what my future would look like with another man. To make the situation more complex, I had never dated as a Christian woman. The "worldly" way of meeting someone felt invalid and a contradiction to my new life as a follower of Christ.
While the idea of remarriage after loss might be on your mind, take a moment to understand that finding wholeness in Christ is a journey that doesn't necessarily depend on finding a new spouse. Let God mend the shattered pieces of your heart, and open yourself up to the possibility that His love can fill any gaps left by your loss.
One thing that Jesus asked me to do was to think about and lean into Him to make me whole before I could even entertain the thought of a relationship let alone remarriage.
Scripture: Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
In times of loss and heartache, it's crucial to remember that God's presence is a balm for our wounded souls. This season of pain can be an opportunity for you to draw near to Him, allowing His love to bring healing to your brokenness.
Reflection: Think about the moments when you've felt God's comforting presence during your journey of healing. How has His closeness brought you solace in times of brokenness? Consider ways you can lean into His love to find the healing you need.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, in the midst of my brokenness, I come before You. Thank You for being near to the brokenhearted and for the promise of Your healing touch. As I navigate this season of loss, help me to find my wholeness in You. Mend the shattered pieces of my heart with Your love and grace. Remind me that Your love is enough to fill any gaps left by my pain. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
