What Jesus did to my marriage
The month of September 2010 was traumatic.... lots of questions and not a single answer. There was chaos, frustration and pain everywhere around. Accusations, expectations, abuses, hurt, tears had become an ordeal of the day. There was only one question on my mind - Why me Lord?
Marriage I thought was a beautiful affair. The heavens would rejoice when the couple said 'I do'. But in my life, there was nothing meaningful. I was being looked at as the black sheep in my flock. There were harsh questions thrown at my decision of marrying a nonbeliever of Christ - What will become of you? How will you survive with a nonbeliever? He will not let you pray, he will drag you to other faiths, your marriage will be a failure. But I dint budge....
When that dint work there was accusation - You are a traitor, you have no rights to be a part of us. You have sinned. Money has gone into your head!
There seemed to be no hope left, But I prayed...
I knew that the God I trusted in so much would NEVER EVER leave my side. He is mighty and all things are possible through Him.
Believing in His mercies, I took a bold step forward and walked the isle with my Prince charming. Looking back at my decision, I can proudly say that there have been no regrets. Every tear, every hurt was worth the treasure called Ullas. I could not have asked for a better husband or a better famiy to belong to.
However, despite a happy life, a lacuna persisted in my heart. There was love, there was joy, there was attention, but I missed my parents a lot. I would think of them every night and fondly remember my good old days. The memory turned into longing and I started questioning my Lord again - Why Jesus? Why dont I get the love of my parents.
Finally, when I was done with the cribbing I started praying. And, miraculously one day, my parents were back by my side. It seems like they never left. All the anger, all the complaints, everything vanished, and the peace of Jesus was there in my heart.
Life throws so many obstacles to get bogged down. You may feel trampled and dejected, yet, there is one light that can get you out of any trouble - hope in Christ. If you live in Christ and let Him lead your way, there will be no reason for regret in your hearts. Experience Jesus, there is none like Him.
