INVITE GOD INTO THE QUARANTINE
I promise you won’t regret it! I said to a friend recently that the best thing that has happened for us is that our husbands are quarantined away from us, and I’m taking it as a huge Godwink, no coincident. God knows what He is doing with each one of us, and He knew that we both needed this time alone with Him to see our spouses in their proper perspectives, as children of God, and NOT our false Gods.
Beauty attached to God is sacrament, cut off from God it becomes an idol. – Frithjof Schuon
This quarantine has been a great time of reflection for me and time for God to work on some areas where I have been getting it totally wrong. I now love my husband the way God would have me to love him:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
I’m free from stressing a little bit too much about what my husband is doing or not doing. I’ve freed him to his life, and most importantly, I’ve freed myself to focus on important goals and dreams God has placed on my heart to accomplish. Woohoo! Thanks, God.
Let’s not waste this quarantine away, invite God in! Make Him a priority! At first, let me tell ya, I wasn’t finding this separation funny and I needed LOTS of appointments with God. Not one moment of those alone times were wasted. It’s like He took out my old heart and replaced it with a new, better, and even more loving one. Amazing!
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” – Isaiah 41:10…“Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes.” What’s taking you away from a closer relationship with God?
