“Faith and Fellowship: The Key to Healing from Divorce”
Hey friend, can we talk about something that’s been on my heart lately? You know that feeling when you’re going through divorce and it seems like you’re walking this path alone? I’ve been there, and I want you to know something important: you don’t have to do this by yourself.
I remember sitting in my car outside church one Sunday, wondering if I should even go in. Would people judge me? Would I feel even more alone in a crowd? But you know what? Taking that step through those doors was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
These words hit different now, don’t they? They’re not just beautiful verses—they’re a lifeline.
Finding My People
Let me tell you about this amazing group of women I met through the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality group at my church. Picture this: a virtual room of Christian women, all at different stages of their journey, sharing their hearts without fear of judgment. Some days we laugh, some days we cry, but every time we meet, we grow stronger together.
You know that verse, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17)? That’s exactly what happens in our little community. We’re not just sharing conversation—we’re sharpening each other, helping one another become who God created us to be.
God’s Heart for Your Healing
Can I share something beautiful with you? There’s this verse in Ecclesiastes that says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up” (4:9-10).
Doesn’t that just speak to your soul? God never intended for us to walk through hard seasons alone. And when you’re feeling particularly broken? Remember this promise: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).
Taking Those First Steps Together
I know it might feel overwhelming right now. Maybe you’re not sure where to start or how to move forward. Can I make a suggestion? Let’s take this journey together. If you’re looking for practical ways to walk through this season, I’ve created something special just for you—my course, “Divorce is Not My Name.” It’s filled with tools to help you build those spiritual sister connections and navigate this time with grace.
A’s Love Actions
Here’s what I want to challenge you to do (and I’ll be doing it right alongside you):
- Reach out to just one person this week. It doesn’t have to be a long conversation—even a simple text saying “I’m thinking of you” can mean the world to someone.
- Take a quiet moment with God. Ask Him to show you who might need your support right now. Sometimes, in helping others, we find our own healing.
- Pick one of the Scriptures we talked about today and write about it in your journal. What does it mean to you right now, in this season?
Remember, divorce is part of your story, but it’s not your name. You are so much more, and you’re not walking this path alone.
