Starting Over

Starting over is not always easy. No matter where you have been and/are going, it is never easy having done something for so long and walk away from it. Even if you try to return to that situation with a different frame of mind, it does not guarantee us safe passage to the place of restoration of being able to pick up where we left off. It's similar to a marriage gone bad, and when you have parted ways for a final time. After, you've had sufficient time for your wounds to heal, you try to return to the scene in order to make amends, if to be nothing other than friends, whether it be for the sake of the children and/or your on peace of mind. No matter how hard you try it is very awkward, your issues are unresolved and they must be dealt with properly. Issues are the painful areas (sore spots) in our lives that no one really wants to address and/or take responsibility for. When we have not allowed God the opportunity to deal with the issue of trust, all of your efforts of reconciliation are in vain. Be sure that you are okay if you are rejected, because the other party may not be ready to move forward just yet. As you seek God, ask Him to reveal the broken areas in your life concerning your relationship with Him and with your spouse (ex or otherwise), in order for you to come to terms with your part in the matter. Repent for holding onto the pain and bitterness, ask the Lord to restore unto you the joy of your salvation in Him. Is is only the Living God who can restore you to wholeness that you are able to walk victoriously in that blessed state of peace of God which surpasses all understanding. IN HIS HOLY PRESENCE!!!
