As a single, I'll admit sometimes tempted to wonder if I'm too broken to be a helpmeet to anyone and for those in rough marriages, I'm sure there are moments you're convinced your marriage is too broken to be saved. But no one is beyond a miracle. There is no person God cannot change and no marriage He cannot heal.
This excerpt from Streams in the Desert caught my eye today & I wanted to share it in hopes that it will bless you, too:
Almighty God can make us stronger than our circumstances and turn each situation to our good. In God's strength we can make them all pay tribute to our soul. We can even take the darkest disappointment, break it open, and discover a precious jewel of grace inside.
Christ is building His kingdom with the broken things of earth. People desire only the strong, successful, victorious, and unbroken things in life to build their kingdoms, but God is the God of the unsuccessful - the God of those who have failed. Heaven is being filled with earth's broken lives, and there is no "bruised reed" that Christ cannot take and restore to a glorious place of blessing and beauty. He can take a life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it a harp whose music will be total praise. He can lift earth's saddest failure up to Heaven's glory."
