Romans 12:2- And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
This was the main verse of my devotion this morning. The Lord revealed to me that I am being renewed in my mind right now. I am being renewed to start depending on the Lord and not on my husband. For most of my marriage, I have had my husband as an idol in my life. I truly never thought there was life outside of him. I had so much fear of him leaving me, or dying, because I believed there was no way I could live without him.
The Lord is changing that dependence from my husband to Him. I need to have the dependence of my life on the Lord. I no longer cry daily, or feel so hopeless about my future. I thought that meant I was losing the hope and desire for my marriage. That is not what it meant. The lack of crying and the lack of despair is my dependence on the Lord. I am depending on the Lord to restore my marriage, not depending on myself.
The joy of the Lord is my strength. He doesn't want me to walk around crying and so sad all the time. He wants me to be rejoicing in him, always! (Phil. 4:4). Just because I am not sad, does not mean it's over, it just means my reliance is on the Lord!
