Proverbs 30:21 "Under three things the Earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up: 22 a servant that becomes a king, a fool who is full of food, 23 an unloved woman who is married, and a maidservant who displaces her mistress." The unloved woman that is married, stood out to me today. I have been that woman. It was the loneliest place I can remember. I grew up with a mother that taught me my value was largely associated with the man I married. She was born in 1942 and that was her belief. I grew up desiring to be Cinderella or any other fairytale princess meeting her Prince Charming and living happily ever after. My illusion of this paradise has sometimes made me a bit, “boy crazy”. I have found it is far better to be alone than to be tied to someone that doesn’t love me . The TRUTH is we are never alone. Jesus is with us always and Jesus always loves us!! I much prefer being alone with Jesus than being lonely attached to someone I'm not connected with. If you find yourself in a lonesome marriage good news is Jesus can fix that!!! Jesus can change hearts and make our relationships fulfilling. I wish I could go back in time and have my mother teach me that my value comes from the powerful gift of Jesus but I can’t change yesterday. What I can do is know that now!! I can enter into all relationships, knowing that I am valuable and too knowing the person I’m in a relationship with is extremely valuable as well and we are to love each other with a Christ centered love
