Have you ever gone through times in your life when you have made choices that were not in the will of God? You know the ones that I am talking about. The ones where we convince ourselves that we have prayed through and have gotten the okay from God. But what happens two weeks, six months, ten years later when everything falls apart and reality hits us square in the face…God’s perfect and complete grace is waiting for us to guide us through to the next step.
When I was going through my divorce twelve years ago, I realized that some of the decisions I had made were not in the will of God. I wanted to think that they had been, but I really needed to deal in complete truth before the Savior of my heart. As I poured my heart out to the one who knew the anguish I was feeling over the loss of this marriage, I felt kissed by His Grace. I didn’t want to go through a quick fix, but rather walk with God for however long the healing would take to ensure some safeguards to stay in God’s will.
Because I am building my relationship with Him, this allows me to seek God daily about His will for my life as I present things to Him. Walking in the will of God is more freeing because He is leading and guiding. It is such a comfort to know that God never leaves or forsakes us on good days and challenging days and we can rest in the fact that we are always kissed by His grace!
