I likely say this far too often, but God is amazingly faithful and trustworthy! I marvel at the ways He works that I get to see and all of the ways I hear about but don’t witness by sight. And this is just what I personally get to witness. All over the world God is working to bring His children to Him and we get to be a part of this. How fortunate we are!
A husband I’ve been seeing for 6 months has been having his wife come these past few sessions. Yesterday we tackled an issue he felt he could never talk to his wife about. Yet, in talking about it he was astounded to hear what she had to say. He just shook his head in disbelief. All he feared he’d hear was not even a slight bit evident. It reminded me of my own telling Kathy 42 years ago about my past. I had told her to pack her bags for she’d be fleeing once she knew the truth of who she had married. Instead, when I’d finally gotten the whole story out, she simply asked, “If I had just told you something similar about me, would you be leaving?” It floored me when she asked that. I responded saying I just hadn’t thought of it that way. She then added that I just needed help.
When this conversation took place yesterday, with the problem out in the open, we agreed we could step into it next week. The husband was amazed his wife wanted to join him in this. How FAITHFUL our God is!
