Day 139 - Remarriage?
Your source of wholeness and identity should come from your relationship with the Lord, not from another person. God created us in His own image, and this is where we find our identity, for those who are believers in Christ. God also promises to provide us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
Before you seek to remarry, consider first whether you are finding your fullness, your wholeness as an individual, in a close relationship with God. Remarriage is not something to be rushed into, even if your emotions are trying to convince you otherwise.
“We’re in a hurry-up, throwaway, disposable, microwavable world,” says Gretchen, a widow. “And we do not want to wait. God doesn’t do everything yesterday. He answers our prayers, but it’s ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ and ‘Wait.’ Most of the time it’s ‘Wait.’ It’s in His timing and not our timing. We want everything in our timing.”
Seek to be satisfied in your relationship with God, whether single or married, and be assured that God will supply your needs according to His perfect plan.
“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all–how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
Savior God, I want to know You more fully than I do now. Amen.
