I sense something wrong a few days ago. N last night she cried telling me that they have broken off after 2 years. I feel worried and burden for her. Other than that, I cant feel any empathay for her when she cried bitterly in front of me.
I only want her to get out of it and stop dwelling in it. N stop harping over it because there is no point. The point is not even in the relationship, the point is about her own growth. I tried to ask God to help me be kind and merciful, so the best I could manage is to listen to her.
But it affects everyone in the family to see her like this. I believe it affects the little boy as well because mother and son are connected in their spirit. Well at least that is what I believe.
Perhaps God has to sometimes bring us to the valley of the shadow of death before we can experience his COMFORTING rod and staff. Before that, God's staff and rod are only stumbling stone blocking us pursuing what we willfully wants.
You know what, staff and rod are used by the Shepherd to discipline the sheep. It hurts to be discipline. But David in Ps 23 says that "they staff and thy rod, they comfort me."
That's what i prayed for her- The Holy Spirit (Comforter, Helper who come alongside us.) will comfort and be with her. As we faces discipline, be glad to know that God cares for us to discipline us. It hurts but it helps us to grow.
Pray for her that God will protect her mind and heart.
Pray that she will recover in her heart, mind and spirit.
Pray that she will look at things from God's point of view.
Pray that as she recovers she will learn to love her son.
Pray for the little boy that God will protect him from bearing beyond what he can handle.
Pray for the boy and the mother to grow in understanding and love.
