Exceptions

From time to time we get asked the same question in various forms.  It usually goes something like this, "So, do you think God can really help this marriage...."  Our answer is always the same...."YES!!!"

We have come to the place where we know that this stand for our marriage is not ours but the Lord's.  It's not about the severity of the circumstances or how difficult the road back is.  It's about whether or not we, with the Lord's help and grace, will stand for our marriage.

You cannot make a stand on any subject or issue and have it be firm if you attempt to factor in all of the variables, what-ifs, and exceptions.  If you try to do that every variable, every what-if, and every exception will be in place to undermine your stand.

In standing for your marriage, there needs to be a line drawn that makes it all black and white.  Either I will stand regardless of what we are up against or I won't.  There are no exceptions to God's ability to restore.  There are no what-ifs that he cannot deal with.  There is no variable that He has not accounted for.  And His grace is sufficient to cover all of it.  All of this means that you don't have to because He already has.

At the very core of standing for your marriage it is that simple.
