He Cheated: Hate Or A Four Letter Word by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

I was told of a true story of a couple married some 30 years and one day the husband came home and said he was moving out. To make matters worse, he moved in with an employee on the same job where they, he and the wife work.  That was not the shocking thing, what was mine boggling was  this same wife would see this new found couple everyday, and she was cordial to both the abandoned husband and his new girlfriend.  I was told she didn’t have any bitterness and in fact was one of the sweetest persons you would ever know!  I didn’t believe this until I saw and met her for myself…

I am retelling this story

Because at the time I said “I am not such a woman.” Now as I look back over my life I realize I still would not be that woman, but I am all that I have allowed God to transform me into. Having been married some 19 + years, divorced and remarried,  I see the transformation in myself, only possible by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.  I remember the day I actually became aware of betrayal and how it felt.  It was a message left on the separate phone of our home, one I vary rarely answered . This particular day for some reason I answered it..”I enjoyed our hugging and kissing the other day, I hope we can do it again.” That was the message on the phone.  I felt violated, betrayed, and any other negative emotion you can think of…

I remember when

Loss Is Gain: A Releasing To God Will Yield Glorious Promotion! by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Loss is Gain. The stripping away, the abandonment, loss of job forced retirement, loss of a friend, husband, wife or child. Foreclosures, shall the list continue…Loss of ones health, vitality and youth. Suddenly you wake up one day, to find you are no longer young, you are fat, skinny, the hair is gray, the children have lives of their own…you no longer have to get up for work…where has it all gone…

Loss is hard, whether voluntary stripping, release or a ripping tearing away, loss is hard: Hard on the emotions, hard spiritually even for the spiritually strong, simply hard.  Child fighting with spouse, who will win, which one will you choose over?  Leave or stay, spouse doesn’t treat you with care anymore, leave or stay.  He is kind to you, provides, but doesn’t want to marry you…leave or stay.  You have been faithful in giving your offerings, and a good steward in all God has given you, and now your house is in foreclosure…leave or stay? Trying to be a good steward of the body God has given you, trapped by genetic predispositions of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart trouble, obesity, live or die, leave or stay…Wake up one morning finding the house feeling empty, spouse there but not there, leave or stay…

The Attack of My Heart by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

As the days passed bill collectors began to call. Our rent was behind, all the bills were behind. My husband called and said he wanted a divorce. I was unemployed….The pain began to settle in, the loneliness and most intense was the hate…yes hate that a Man of God, a preacher,  could do me so wrong. Hate that my obedience to God in marrying this man lead me to this…perhaps even hate towards a God that would allow this to happen to me….

Then…I remembered I was under attack. The Portal of my heart was open for every evil spirit to come in. The pain had opened the portal of my heart. Bitterness, hate, resentment, and every emotion you could possibly feel began to flood in…

I began to search the scripture to find some semblance of sanity in all I was going through. This was not supposed to happen to me. I had not gone out looking for a man, but had waited and trusted God to send one to me. Me, who was a minister encouraging women nationally and internationally, this could not happen to me! Where was God, where was justice, where was healing…they had all seemed to flee, I was hurting, feeling an excruciating pain.
