My wife has been writing on this blog for well over a year. She has blessed many, has been blessed by many, and has given of herself to her family in ways that any mother/wife would. I know this blog is her sounding board in many ways but I felt it necessary to write this post. She needs your prayers, she needs the strength of her Christian internet family behind her. God did say, “gather together in my name” Matthew 18:19-20
For years my wife has home-schooled our children. However, rebellion, among other things, has really started to set in. The boys have really been giving her a tough time. I won’t elaborate on that but you can imagine the tone of a pre-teen and a teen, at times. We love them both but the enemy has weakened my wife. He is constantly telling her what she is not, what she cannot be, and who she will never become.
So, I stand in front of my wife. I tell the enemy today, as I do every day, “I am her shield, I will cover her, you must come through me first. She is a ‘Princess’ and will not be made anything less!”
So I would like to inject this passage and words from Joel Osteen’s Ministry into her life:
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book”
(Psalm 56:8, NLT)
Do you know how important you are to God? He cares so much about every detail of your life. He cares about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In fact, what you are going through is so important to Him that He records every sorrow and collects every tear you’ve shed. Why would God record your sorrows and collect your tears? It’s because He loves you so much. He is your Vindicator. He’s keeping account of every wrong that’s ever been done to you so that He can make up for every single one of them. He wants to restore everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every single hurt and pain. He sees the longings and desires of your heart, and you can rest assured that behind the scenes He is working things out for your good!
I want to remind you today that God is with you. He is on your side. He has your best interest at heart, and He is working to bring restoration and peace to every area of your life. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep doing the right thing because the One who collects your tears will restore every broken place in your life!
“Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us and setting us free. Thank You for being our Vindicator. I choose to release every hurt, pain and sorrow, knowing that You will make all things new. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
Your husband,
Jerry
