We also have joy with our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope. And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. He gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us. . . Romans 5:3-5
Divorce can be a very disappointing time in our lives, not only disappointing but very painful. Many times during this period, those who have gone through this heart wrenching time a decision is made to attempt a few things, we try to run, pretend that the pain does not exist or we are unable to control the anger we feel. Which many times is about us feeling as if we failed or defeated. We experience so many different emotions but the fact of the matter is through those emotions some awesome things can happen!
The Word of God says, trouble produces patience, patience will assist us in waiting on God and His plan for our lives on how we move forward through this experience. Then if we can practice patience it produces, character. We can continue to grow and become the men and women God has ordained us to be, instead of going off on some tangent that does not please you or GOD! Then finally if we allow our character to grow we are then blessed with hope. The Word explains it better than any words I can write, "This hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts." Wow all of this in the times if trouble. . . that is why there is life after divorce and God is a GREAT PART of the life.
Model Goodness!
