It's so nice. . .to say Goodbye. . .to Yesterday!

For the last twenty some odd segments, we have pounded the subjects of trying to work out your differences in marriage. However, today's topic is about saying "Goodbye". (to bad marriages of course).

There are certain realities in life that forces one to make decisions of permanent separation. It is unfortunate, but in some cases imperative. Of course I am referring to saying Goodbye to that relationship that has not, will not, and has never worked from day one!

We often pride ourselves in the decisions we make and many times it is difficult to admit, "I really made a mistake" Well just as life itself, we are going to make some bad decisions, and yes I'm talking about marriages that just aren't meant to be. I am sure you're thinking, so how do we know, or what is the sign that tells us that we have chosen the wrong mate? It might seem very complex and even complicated, but it's not. Well, I'll let you be the judge. . . . . .if you were in a dark room, and needed light to see, then turned on a flashlight that did not work. What would you do? I'm sure your first thought would be to replace the batteries. Now, with brand new batteries you find that the flashlight still doesn't work, but you still need light. What do you do now?

You see, many times we don't like admitting to ourselves that this (I'll say flashlight but you say marriage) thing isn't going to work, until we finally realize how nice it is to say Goodbye, to the yesterday of pain , sorrow, suffering, and a really messed up, mixed up, so called marriage. It's just reality!
Even in scripture, when Paul the Apostle was encouraging the new born believers to continue, he says: Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.

I don't have to list all of the signs that tell you that this marriage is not working, I'm sure you are able to do that for yourself. What I will tell you however, is that God's will for your life is to be happy and fulfilled in every aspect, including your marriages.

Of course now the question is am I promoting divorce. . .Heavens no . . . what I am promoting rather, is a marriage that God is please with and of course you, not a mixed match, incompatible, unbearable relationship that you can barely tolerate. Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman (or man) in a wide house. In these cases, you need to say Goodbye! Marriage is a way of life that God has designed for two parties, man and woman to be joined together as one. Marriage is not a prison, it's not abusive, it's not an unhappy experience, and should never be a circumstantial alternative.; so let's clear the air. Put your marriage in the balances of God's way and your reality, and you just might find out that "it's really really nice to say goodbye to yesterday."
Now let a new day spring forth in your life and stay that way! You're not sinning, you're just beginning!

You are Blessed by the Best!
