Spiritual Divorce Part Two

Spiritual Divorce Part Two

A Chapter by Little Mouse
"

Saga continues.

"

God, this prayer stuff is working…
“Make it known if this is not your plan!”
All the sudden things start moving
Onto Spiritual Divorce, I should say Separation, Part Two!

I finally saw “that” counselor
Yes, the Christian one
By the time five people recommended you
I can’t avoid you any longer
Validation so sweet
Agreed gone is good
Now make those separation papers complete!

Then Hope for the Separated
Lands in my lap
Seeing all sides
Testimonies abound
We stand for marriage, but you don’t have to reconcile!

Nice lawyer… finally checked off my list
Soon to retain
Prayer for agreement
No contesting for the simple flat rate.

So alright already
How many more boxes to check off my list
Neither resolving or pursuing
So get on with it!

As my mentor quips
You’ve done well with this
Unraveling nicely
But this snails pace must quit!

And so many fine reviews here of Spiritual Divorce Part One
Thanks to Celtic Cat for sending it along!
Too bad “alert all” is now gone!
But at least we got back our black and white tree!

You are all so smart here!
Been there, done that…and so can you
God hates divorce, but also hates abuse
And read all of Romans, there are answers there too!

Are you with me? I’m still going
Here comes the deep spiritual stuff
Close yours eyes, say a prayer
Ask for wisdom, don’t rush!

A bible study flipped me to Romans 7:6
“…having died to that which we were bound,
Serving in the newness of the Spirit, not the oldness of the Law.”

Soon to be delivered from this unequally broken yoke
So lost
Now found
This graceful asunder
Can only be better for both!

An escape hatch of sorts interpreted here
All that matters is what sits well with you, me, but first God!

It is He who will see me and judge me that day
We have choices, He forgives,
Not to be cavalier,
But he’s paving the way!

Continually carrying me
While I lace my new shoes
Can we pick up the pace?
Or for that matter,
How about setting me down
I promised to always walk by your side
No worries your hand will still be holding mine!

Flashback to a poem “The Blank Sheet” written full speed
Not a word changed, free flow thought, there was no stopping me!
“…What could be better than a lampshade in December?
What did that mean…?”
It meant nothing then
But today in December
My tabernacle study complete!

Prayers sent up like incense and he sets you on your feet
The tabernacle model for Christ
The burnt offering, the washing, the showbread…

The lampstand to my delight!

A lampshade covers the light trapping it within
No lampstand should be ever be covered because
…One cannot keep the light contained!

Keep moving me from the ashes
Perhaps you are removing my lampshade
Safe at peace on firm grounds
Shining in, out, all around.

I remember well reading Spiritual Divorce Part 1, and how you were still confused and unsure. Glad to see the confidence in this one...knowing that while God might hate divorce, that does not mean you are to stand abuse for marriage's sake. So happy your spirit is light and sure through this time.
