There Is Life After Divorce!

Life after divorce is not easy. There are so many different phases to the healing process. You will have moments when your emotions are literally all over the place. You will experience sadness, rage, disappointment, relief, hatred, and even peace. It’s like being on a roller coaster every day, except you have no clue when the drop is coming. There will be days when you genuinely feel happy, but there are days when you just want to retaliate and pay them back for everything they have put you through. Hebrews 10:30-31 says, “For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine; I will repay. And again, the Lord will judge his people.” Let God fight this battle. He can do much better than we can.

I want you to know that everything you are feeling is normal. It is totally okay to feel every emotion that you are feeling. The trick is that you have to learn how to control it. You have to remind yourself of Psalms 119:50, “Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.” Trouble don’t last always! Remember, that this is only temporary.

I know you feel that no one understands and you can’t imagine that the pain will ever go away. You may even wonder how you will make it on your own. Remember Philippians 4:19, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Listen, when I tell you that God will provide, He will do just that. I have not gone without a single day. I may not always know how, or when it will happen, but God always sends just what you need.

Most importantly, it will get easier. It doesn’t always feel that way, but it will. I can’t tell you when because everyone’s journey is different, but what I can promise you is that, you still have a bright future ahead of you. Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Divorce does not ruin you. It does not take your value away, no matter how worthless you may feel. There is life after divorce, and life more abundantly! Give it to God and let Him take care of it. Trust and believe, and He will work it out.
