Repairing a broken marriage
The other day Solveig and I were sitting together with a despairing wife. Her marriage was broken. She was hurting and longing for help but had no faith that change was possible.
As we were talking to her we were filled with thankfulness in our hearts for the goodness and mercy of God in our lives. We have had nearly forty happy years of married life together. This woman in front of us told us that she wanted the same loving relationship that she had observed with us, but it seemed to be to much to hope for.
Then we could share with her that God creates light in darkness, brings harmony in chaos, and bestows his peace in places of turmoil. God who rose Jesus Christ from the dead can resurrect any broken marriage to a healthy relationship! God is a God of forgiveness and new beginnings.
As our sister left us that night we knew that a resurrection is about to take place! A restoration is on the way! By the grace of God we will see a broken marriage repaired and brought to fulfillment.
