AND THE TEARS FALL

"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

Mark 10:7-9
King James Version

I have watched Judge Judy on the internet many times and it is heartbreaking how many people are fighting and getting divorced, people who took vows and promised to love one another. How this must break the heart of our Saviour. The tears fall when He sees and hears all this fighting.

We read in the Bible. "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Mark 10:9) Before we walk down the aisle and marry someone we need to be sure the person we are marrying is the person who God wants us to marry.

Several years ago, I received an email from someone who wrote "My boyfriend said if I loved him I would have sex with him". I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that is a lie. Having sex with someone does not mean we love the person.

A girl went to her dad and said "My boyfriend told me I don't love him because I won't have sex with him." Her dad told her, "Having sex with someone does not mean you love the person. Real love comes from the heart".

Before we marry anyone, we need to pray and ask God if that is the person He wants us to marry. Then we need to wait until He gives us peace.

That is true for anything we do. It doesn't matter if it is a job, where we live or a car we want to buy. We need to be sure it is God's will for our life. May God help us to wait for Him before we do anything.
