BREAK UPS

“But the kind-of-good news is they happen to everyone,” I am reading about break ups.

We live in a day of very low moral standards.

Marriage vows are easily broken. Have we forgotten how long a marriage contract is? Divorce is considered common.

HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID DIVORCE:

  • Divorce ruins love and happiness in marriage.
  • The children must be considered, if there are any. They suffer most. You probably know children who are suffering now.
  • Divorce is a public admission of utter failure.
  • Economic disaster usually follows divorce.

How long is a marriage contract? The answer is, “till death breaks it.”

And let us always remember that God’s laws and standards never change.

There is no doubt that we live in a day of very low moral standards, but I do not know that the kind-of-good news is that marriage break ups happen to everyone.

CURVE BALLS

Where are we looking for help, when it feels like the world is falling apart around us, when life throws us curve balls?

In a leaflet on parenting I picked up recently, I am reading it will help us to feel like we are not alone with our struggles, by putting our friends on speed dial.

The best friend of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord Jesus Christ and they talk to Him, they pray to Him, especially in moments of crisis. And they know that they can come to Him at any time.

The Lord Jesus Christ says in John 15:14:

“You are my friends if you do what I command.”

They also like to sing the hymn, which begins like this, “What a friend we have in Jesus,” by Joseph M. Scriven

About the best friend of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ it says in the Bible, in Colossians 1:17:

“He is before all things and in him all things hold together.”

When it feels like the world is falling apart around them, followers of the Lord Jesus Christ pray to their best friend, who is holding all things together.
