Some Thoughts Of Hope During Divorce
by Marijo Phelps HUGGED CLOSER I'm surrounded and rapt In your arms of love My Jesus, you've hugged me close And given me your hope Anticipation During a time of trouble I receive your peace Calming my storm tossed soul You take authority And change my countenance To a sunrise filled with you! HIS HOPE You gave Your hope to me That I might envision Beyond The curtain of tears And see Jesus, my hope, my strength and promise And I Praise You!! MY HOPE My Hope is in Jesus Not finances or circumstances You might suspect That's unsound at first or second glance Yet how can I ever fail With He who created me In control wherever I go Unfolding my eternity For doesn't He who gave me breath Know better than I What and who I must become, To be completely satisfied? These were written after my husband of many years moved me out and decided to get a divorce. They were written within a month of that time, as I began to find out the rest of the gory details one by one, as my Jesus was drawing me ever so close to Him. Jesus made this time bearable and kept me from breaking totally actually He took those shattered pieces and put them back together better than they had been to being with. Jesus became my husband in a totally new sense of that word, my ways and means provider, my comforter and my peace. There IS hope. Hang on! Jesus is in the business of LIFE. I might add that this was over 26 years ago and for the past 24 plus years I have had a wonderful marriage to a really great guy. God is in the business of restoring the years of the locust and canker worm. Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. (KJV) Isaiah 54:5-7 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
