Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for them just as much as he did for you.
The first thing Jesus said upon the cross he said, โForgive them father for they know not what they doโ(Luke 23:34).
They are not evil, they are ignorant.
Pray that blindness be broken off.
Pray that their eyes may see.
Pray for their salvation.
Pray for their full surrender.
When someone is causing you pain and showing hatred, praying for them is one of the hardest things to do.
It is not easy, but it is possible!!
Cry out to the Lord and ask him to heal your pain, ask him to strengthen you to intercede on their behalf. They donโt know better, but you do. Do what is righteous. Show love in all circumstances & if and when you canโt, just say Jesus. He will cover you and them ๐โค๏ธ
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
When we enter into relationship with someone who does not share our same values or calling, we become unequally yoked.
No peace can be found in this type of relationship. You will hurt one another. As one pulls in one direction, the other will pulls in the opposite direction. Youโll each be left feeling alone and frustrated.
Some of my ladies need to hear this, we cannot change a man, only God can! I had to learn this & when I finally did, the peace of the Lord fell upon me, and washed away all of my pain.
Getting involved in a relationship with someone who did not share my same religious views, or values pulled me away from God. It didnโt happen immediately, and I didnโt actually realize it was happening, until I felt so unworthy to even step foot back into my church.
Conflict and anger slowly became a daily part of daily life. Deep within I wanted this person to be the man I needed him to be: a man who pointed me to Christ, but he did not and he could not. Because when it came down to core values, there was division.
If your faith is important to you, wait for the one who will lead you to the feet of Jesus.
โ๏ธWait for the one who will pray with you and for you.
โ๏ธWait for the one who will go to battle for you in the spirit.
โ๏ธWait for the one who will love you the way Christ loves the church.
โ๏ธWait for the one who will do the kingdom work with you.
Do not settle, and if you have settled know you donโt have to stay there. Hold your head up high, repent and begin your walk with God again. Walk in confidence knowing that he created you for a partner who will grow beside you and cover you spiritually as you both mature in faith.
Doing it my way failed me, and it will fail you too. Eventually the high will fade and youโll find yourself in a low place living in torment inside of your mind. My hope that my Love for God would be contagious and spill over into my partner, left me broken in the end.
I know that am not the only one to experience this or walk through this valley. Glory to God that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. And Glory to God that he is a God of restoration. Wait on the Lord!
There is joy in the waiting when you fall in love with Jesus โค๏ธ๐๐
Pray with me:
Heavenly father, I lift up anyone who is hurting tonight, and being tormented by fear, division, mental or physical abuse or guilt and shame. Remind your children that you created each of us with a divine purpose. Help us to seek relationships that are divine appointments in line with your perfect will for our lives. Father God, today we come before you, and we repent of our sins. We ask you to forgive us for all the times we took our life into our own hands. Our lives are not our own. Everything we go through has purpose and is for your glory. Father God, strengthen anyone who is not in the place you have called them to, and give them the courage to move. May they open their hearts to you in full surrender. Father God, remove from all of us anything that is not from you or of you. Our hearts desire is to grow close to you and to walk in your purpose. May your will be done in our lives and through our lives. Father, may anyone who comes in contact with this word, surrender their heart, and fall at your feet. Lead us Lord, and show us what true love is. In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.
