A Very Lucky Girl

Adult A and Adult B meet and fall in love.   Adult A and Adult B get married, commiting to join their lives together forever . They are one.  From the union of Adult A and Adult B, Child C and Child D are born.  Adult A, Adult B, Child C, and Child D are a family.  Adult A decides he or she no longer wants to be married. Maybe Child C and Child D are older now, considered adults themselves in some situations. It doesn't make divorce any better or any less wrong.  The result is a ripped family that can never be repaired. Divorce is a permanent, selfish solution to a temporary problem. Divorce is a decision independent from God.  Divorce is an individual choice that affects the group. "'I hate divorce,' says the Lord." (Malachi 2:16) Ditto from A Very Lucky Girl. 

"Love keeps no record of wrongs." How appropriate.  If I seem bitter and callous, I am.  If I seem angered and hurt, I am.  If I seem frustrated and betrayed, I am.  Because people are keeping records of wrongs. Because instead of a spirit of future and forgiveness, my "family" is disintegrating based on justification and judgement.  "Let me see redemption win, Let me know the struggle ends,  That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn." A Very Lucky Girl is worn. And feeling more broken than lucky.
