i just don't love my husband anymore.. and I don't want your JESUS

what does one say..
when someone you love,
someone you know,
someone,
anyone in your life
just UP and decides
they don't love...
can't love..
haven't BEEN loving
and don't care to learn HOW to love once again
their husband...
and as far as Jesus is concerned..
they want NO part..
they want your counsel..
or perhaps they don't
but either way
they want YOU to keep your Jesus OUT of it..
Keep your Bible OUT of the conversation...
Keep it "normal"
and JUST be a friend...
what do you say
if you BELIEVE
in Jesus...

I could go on and on about the sanctity of marriage..
on and on about when and how and why and the "only's" of divorce.
but can we BE real and true and kitchen table FIRST....
because you'll get that when you read your theology books..
when you go to your counselor..
when you listen to your sermon..
in fact..
it's really and probably written ON your heart...
divorce SHOULDN'T be an option...

and yet
we live in a culture
in communities
in families
where it just IS commonplace...
and we HAVE to learn how to love people in this place of total pain...
in this place of rejection
and despair
and utter failure...

YES
Jesus can HEAL your marriage
Jesus can RESTORE your marriage
Jesus can RESSURECT your marriage
and your LOVE for one another
YES..
He can..

Maybe...
you JUST don't believe..
I do...
but in this case ... it isn't MY faith that needs to be the size of a mustard seed
it isn't me that needs to move a mountain...
maybe ME
the Christian Gal...
needs to LOVE you
LISTEN TO YOU
hear you...
hug you
encourage
you
and NOT waver from Christ for a minute
but BE like the Jesus I read about in my Bible...
not BE the Judgement
but BE the mercy
be the Grace...
because no matter how awful you think it is...
no matter how terrible the storm
how steep the climb
how uncertain the voyage...
Our God IS great
and He loves you...
and wants to help
and to heal
and to restore
and to make whole again...
and maybe
instead of hearing of wrath to come...
you need to know
you can run into the fathers arms because Jesus made a way for you..
and if my loving silence is what you need to believe that...
to believe the words I have already said..
than I am shushed..
and I am silenced...
and I am grieving
with you...
you ...
you are so loved....
and you ...
you can love again...
and will love again..
and will be loved again...
and are loved... very very loved...
God Is LOVE
I just can not keep Him out of me :)
