Our paragraph topic is: (The question of divorce) Part 5.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. You gave us life. You give us joy. You give us happiness. And yet we are today without understanding of your will for us. For you created us male and female. You created us two flesh to become one. You gave us our purpose. You gave us our plan. You gave us the world we live in to multiply and prosper. And yet today we do not know you. Today we do not obey your commands. Today we live according to our own will.
For we were lost. We were deceived. We were dead, without your spirit. And Christ. He came to take back what was lost. He came to pay the price. He came that we would have life and have it more abundantly. The choice is ours. Do we live with you, according to the laws that you have given us, or do we live according to the dictates of the world. Christ gave us your command: "What God has joined together let no man put asunder." And yet we do. How have we come to changing your laws. They said to him, "Why then did Moses command to give a written notice of dismissal, and to put her away?"
Why did Moses allow for dismissal of a wife? Why was the practice of separation begun? Why was it necessary to have a divorce? God our Father put them together from the beginning. God our Father gave them a purpose? God our Father created them male and female so that they would come together for a cause. And it was God our Father who gave them life that they may prosper. Yet man has changed the rules of God. Man has decided that it is better that they are separate. Man has willed that they may divorce and remarry. And thus we have man's plan in today's world.
The plan was changed and the purpose discarded. And now we divorce, we separate, we remarry as many times as we see fit. For the structure of the original plan has been changed. Can we not accept the original plan? Can we not abide by the original plan? Are we not God's children living according to his will? Do we not start with his understanding, his plan, his purpose? Do we not accept that we are put together for a purpose? Do we not believe that he knows what is best for us? It is up to us male and female to come together with the knowledge and the will to live according to his plan and his purpose and not according to the will of the world.
If we are Christians and live according to the life that is given us through Christ then we should know the truth of who we are. We should accept the will of our Father when we make the commitment to live according to his purpose. Yet the tricks and traps of the world weigh upon us, both male and female. The wants and desires of the world lead us in a direction away from the knowledge of our protector. The passions of the life we live and the life we experience, on a daily basis, wear upon our conscience like water wearing upon rock, eroding away at our ability to follow the will of our father. Yet it is only with the truth of who we are and the consolation of the Holy Spirit that we find a stronghold away from the constant battering of the world we live in.
Come! Let us retire from the storm of the outside world. Let us live according to the will of our Father. Let us know the truth of who we are in Christ and thereby secure the protection of the Holy Spirit that will guide us through the darkness. Christ is the light in the darkness. He is the beacon to follow. He gives us the strength to weather the storm of the world. Stay strong. Stay true to who you are in him. Seek the solitude of his protection and you will know the peace and joy of his love. For he is our fulfillment. He is our purpose. He is our love and our happiness. For there is nothing in the world that can compare to what our father has prepared for us in heaven. And it is our decision to turn from the ways of the world and turn our hearts to him who made us and sustains us. For to know him is to love him and to love him is to be with him.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
