Sparkling Radiance
Waves of sparkling radiance twinkling in the Son’s rays, tis but the reflection of His glory of days.
As we past through this life we are nothing but a diamond in the rough, being perfected, as we walk in His sparkling radiance.
These lapping waves coming to shore, then they are no more.
Were did they go?
But back out to see G-d’s creation that speaks to me of His never ending love.
He has made a covenant, but some do not see that the commitment made is between the Father and me.
The Father will gather all those that sparkle in His radiance on that day as the flock of His people and they will sparkle in His land like jewels in a crown.
G-d's loyal love couldn't run out, His merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning.
The L-rd shall be unto you an everlasting light, and you’re G-d, your glory!
How great Your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with G-d for He's all I've ever had and He is committed to me.

Living Fully Alive
What does that mean actually?
Are we excited and enjoying life?
Or just existing, barely getting by?
I had the privilege to learn a lesson from a senior man who still thrives to live.
It got me to do some deep thinking about myself. I would have to say two years ago I was just putting one foot in front of the other. Having to live my life in situations that were out of my control until I learned to make my own chooses through broken antennas.
One day you blink your eyes and find your loved ones have all grown up and you seem to have no more purpose and your dreams have fell at the way side.
Now G-d promised to restore what the cancer-worm has eaten, and I believe He will, all in His timing. I was not out looking for a mate or anything in particular, just going from day to day and doing the best I can. Then one day at a church love feast, my son and I sat across from a man who just happed to be sitting at a table by himself. What seemed to attract me to choose to sit there was his outward expression of what I was feeling inwards. I instantly related to this man that I had never talked too, I could feel his pain, fear, confusion; he could not see his self-worth, for his antennas had been broken for a long time. Now all this was taking place as I am walking to the table, thinking ‘I can help this man for I know how he is feeling’, of course the advisory made a few wise remarks, but I brushed him aside for I knew what I needed to do.
I believe I am on a ‘mission’ for G-d and I love being used by Him. Now remember I had no alternative motive, just going to pull this man up by his straps, build him up in the L-rd, and set his feet on solid grown again.
Well I think the laugh is on me, my Father has a sense of humor, for He knows how to come in the back door sometimes, so I can not block or argue what He is trying to do, accomplish in my life, getting me to let past things go.
Two years has now came and gone and I am still with this same person. I do not know how or when it happed but somehow G-d had me give 100% of my feelings to him. This is NEVER been a consideration in my life to anyone – one must always be on guard to prevent being hurt.
Do you notice G-d does not always tell you what He plans on doing, nor shows you the big picture?
Well I would like to tell you this all has a happy ending but G-d not only has to work on one party but on the other as well. Our responses are how fast we can let go and let G-d do a mighty work in us.
What I can say is win, loose or draw I am glad our paths had cross for I became fully alive for the past two years! Whether it works out or not, I gave it my all and life has not past me by, for G-d was and is not finished with me yet!!
Don’t let the advisory tell you that you are done and finished! That you have no worth. Nor that you are unlovable. Remember he is the father of all lies and he will use whomever he can to rob you of your happiness and bring you down so you will not complete the plans G-d has for your life.
Live life to the fullest , not all things in life are coincidences, but maybe just maybe they were directed by G-d.
Life in itself is scary, fear is not of Him, His advice to me and you is:
“Even if afraid, just do it – put your trust in Me, or you may end up in a stalemate going nowhere.”

Divorcement
Divorce is harder to take than having one’s spouse dying, for then they did not choose to leave you. The marriage vows for many are a tongue-in-cheek recital, “release me and let me love again” syndrome. The most valuable things in life are often the most vulnerable.
For those who have lost a wife or husband because of unfaithfulness, G-d understands like you wouldn’t believe. He too had that problem, as He admits in the books of Hosea, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. G-d didn’t just send condolences, rather, He solemnly declared that He Himself was reluctantly filing divorce charges against Israel for her idolatry. G-d Himself had to get a divorce because of His beloved’s unfaithfulness! So He has personally suffered the same tragedy of a love one that wanted to go their own way. He fully understands every family distress and upheaval, so no distressed couple or bereft individual needs to approach Him as though He were above such human problems and without sympathetic understanding. He is not just a censorious judge; He is also a compassionate friend. G-d is in the business of helping people were they hurt, and we need to be about our Father’s business.
G-d’s purpose in instituting marriage between a man and a woman was found in Gen. 1:28 of being fruitful and multiply, but it was also promoting personality growth and grace. That purpose is to develop and mature two different personalities in a relationship of mutual fellowship and responsibilities. Conforming each other more and more into the image of Him (2 Pet. 1:4-11). In a sense, it is dying to self, but rising together with your partner in a new ‘one-flesh’ marital union. It takes both partners to want to accomplish this; it sometimes falls flat and doesn’t deliver when one gets the worldly disease. An ungluing process can easily set in that separates first the affections and finally the entire marriage, and believers are by no means immune to the disease.
Tailor-made mates who fulfill all one’s matrimonial dreams are just not on the market. ‘Play-Doh’ personalities or mates without individual desires and convictions do not have the resilient qualities of which good marriages are made. Adjustments in give-and-take compromises are to be expected in a well-ordered relationship, as long as it does not relinquish one’s morals.
One must begin these adjustments with themselves, not with the spouse. The Bible instructs the husband to attend to his own responsibility of loving his wife, not to be the dean of education for her instruction. He is not told to require submission of his wife, nor is the wife told to demand his love (Eph. 5:21). Charity begins at home, so charitable understanding towards one’s
G-d given mate is the place to start. Each is to evaluate his own responsibilities and fulfill them. We were made with free choose, if one choose not to make a go of it and wishes to leave we need to cut them loose.
When a divorce becomes necessary for a moral cause, Moses actually provided the woman involved with a degree of protection by requiring its review and legal action. It also served to remind the husband that he would lose her forever when he got a divorce. From this O.T. legislation it is to be noted that G-d did recognize divorce, even though the union was designed to be permanent. Moses even spoke in Deut. 24:2-3, of the woman becoming ‘another man’s wife’.
G-d hates divorce (Mal. 2:16), there is something He hates even more. That is the causes for which He allows divorcement:
1. Fornication, immorality, unchasity, adultery referring to all types of illicit sexual intercourse all severed the union by the breach of faithfulness and new physical union. For the innocent party there may be times when divorce (or at least separation) is the will of G-d, it is more of a sin to continue to live with that one than to separate. To be submissive to such an arrangement by condoning it is to be a party to it.
2. Desertion is proper ground for divorce by the other.
3. Inequality yoke situations, the saved partner cannot leave, but is not bound to chase after the unbelieving partner is he or she leaves, for the separation is not of the believer’s making. (1 Cor. 7:15).
Marriage is a great institution, but who wants’ to be in an institution? They say marriage was made in Heaven, but then so was thunder and lighting. The chooses we make --.
The loneliness and trauma of marital separation affects the constitution of any individual, to be divorced is to lose a part of yourself. The gnawing desire for a fulfilled union is often even more pronounced after the divorce. The lost of companionship and the need for sympathetic understanding tend to heighten the desire to give the marriage game a rerun. This is natural since G-d designed marriages for this life in Matt. 22:30. G-d knew the woman had to become a member of another family to survive socially or economically, which meant remarriage to another (in the time and culture). The option today of remarrying may not be just a right; it may be a responsibility, remarriage to the proper fulfilling of several basic needs in a normal human being, (1 Cor. 7:2, 9) to fulfill their G-d given sexual needs (Gen. 2:18).
In remarriage constitutes a new life for scrambled eggs cannot be unscrambled but the ones that remarry can be dedicated to G-d, for a new start on life. G-d’s grace has as its unique feature the ability to overwhelm the disaster of sin and salvage trophies out of tragedies. He can bring restoration and harmony out of marital chaos is an example of that grace. His Savior-hood extends to homes as well as to hearts, and that should be a part of the gospel we preach. He is the wonderful Counselor for broken marriages as well as broken lives, and we are to recognize the completeness of the healing He provides. The imparting of that grace to married couples is but a parable of His grace to us who are to be His eternal bride. That coming marriage of Y’Shua should never be lost sight of as we seek to restore and perfect the ideals of human marriage, G-d’s portrait of His grace.
Whether you choose to stay married or to move on, repent of whatever was your mistake (for we all make mistakes), learn from it, rebuilt a new life that brings happiness to you, and glory to the Father.
G-d has called us to peace, where there is strife there is no peace. Hopefully next time you will make a wiser chose and know what not to do or what to do.
Let the Father lead your steps into your future.
Marriage is like a mirror; it reflects what we put into it. If one has divorce readily in their mind as a convenient option, divorce will be much more likely.
Jer. 3:8
Deut. 24:1, 3
Matt. 5:31
Matt. 5:32 committeth adultery-- If divorce was one of G-d’s given rules, it breaks the marriage covenant; after a just divorce, one may lawfully marry again. But if one that puts away their mate upon any other pretence caused them to commit adultery, and one also that shall marry them when they are divorced. The Church of Rome says, No that they are married in G-d’s eyes unless they get an annulment from the church; but the Greek and Protestant Churches allow it. (Matthew Henry)
Matt. 5:28 ‘But I say unto you, That whosoever looked on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.’
This principle applies to much more than men looking at women. It applies to just about anything we can covet with the eye or mind, sleeping or playing around with another woman. Since Y’Shua considers adultery in the heart a sin, we know what we think about and allow our heart to rest on is based on choice. Many believe they have no choice - and therefore no responsibility - for what they think about, but this contradicts the clear teaching of Y’Shua here. We may not be able to control passing thoughts or feelings, but we certainly do decide where our heart and mind or what our fingers touch will rest upon. (David Guzik)
So whether in the natural or in the physical act if adultery, G-d is saying it was committed and a just divorce is legal in His eyes and marrying another is permitted.
Matt. 19:7
Mk. 10:4
1 Cor. 7:15
