SAD WHEN OW COMES BEFORE HIS KIDS!!!

[missmyfriend]

chicki, something I am learning is that in order to draw people closer to God I had to quit beating them over the head with Him. My W pulled away from Him and felt I was using Him to get her back in line. I told her I was using Him and that part is okay but I should not use Him to get what I want. My W loves Him but is rebelling against Him as well as me so it suits no purpose for me to tell her what she already knows. Just like she did not want to be around me, she did not want to be around Him because He is the ultimate authority figure. Instead I am trying to show her the unconditional love He shows. He does not force anyone to come to Him but He holds His arms out to everyone. Even those who despise Him.

I began to realize that I was not following His direction but what I wanted. The greatest love can be letting go and be willing to be "tortured" for those you love.

I am trying to emulate Him as much as I can. And believe me, it is a struggle.

Remember, the people on this board wants to see you succeed in becoming the person He wants you to be and for your marriage to be restored. Our method of delivery is just different from one person to the next.
