Loosing and finding
July 12, 2023
Loosing someone hurts. Whether through divorce or death there’s a whole in our heart that yearns to be filled. There’s nothing wrong with the yearning. What’s hard is waiting, healing, and waiting more, before even considering how that void might be filled. It’s waiting until you can manage your finances as a single person. Waiting until you’re not looking for a replacement person. Bad idea.
It’s waiting until you and God have resolved anger, bitterness. And large doses of forgiveness have been given, even if not asked for.
It’s waiting until God gets your attention with perhaps a new mission that does not include another mate. Ephesians 1:23 reassures us that Jesus fills everything in every way. After we’ve allowed Him to fill that void, we’re prepared either for another healthy relationship, or enjoying being single.
