A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

Advice to a man in pain as his wife left him,

There are so few words that can comfort the hurt that has entered your life. We all pray for His best in this time of personal turmoil. As her husband, you can continue to pray; both hedge of protection, and a hedge of thorns, to surround her. The hedge of protection is to keep her from contacts that might increase her resolve to leave her calling to be your wife. The second hedge of thorns is to make any relationship that she might want to enter into that would try to comfort her or counsel her to continue her rebellion against God, to become seriously, painful for her, continually. While your wife will always have her free will, she will do so under the fervent pressure of the Father, Himself.

Other than the above, you have to cast your misery and frustrations upon, the generous love of God, who will Himself intervene in your personal pain. As the tears of rejection are felt; know that the Father, will not ,yea cannot, reject the heart of His own.

Take care that those about you, perhaps you children, or significant friends, while sharing your suffering do not succumb to it. Give heed that the bitterness, which can bring such deep regrets to you and your loved one’s lives, be kept at bay. No hurt or injury can heal, when salved with bitterness, no, none, ever.

Finally, do not bring greater sorrow into your life by developing a spirit that refuses to forgive. Such a hurtful spirit will bring peril, to all you meet along this journey.

May His love, overwhelm your sorrows, His peace replace your pain and His Spirit refresh your soul, while you travel through this most difficult personal valley.
