Hey you! You're Not Worthless

Hey you! You're Not Worthless

“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.”  Psalm 27:10
I think one of the worst things that we standers feel from rejection of our spouses, is the feeling of worthlessness.  How many times have you felt like you weren't worth loving because  your spouse left you?  I know I have struggled with this myself.
About a week ago in my prayer time with God, He revealed to me that I still see myself as worthless because my spouse rejected our marriage.  He also told me this is one of the enemy's biggest lies, and that none of His people are worthless.  I know you can relate to the way that I've felt in the past 3 years, because we can't seem to understand why our spouses have rejected us, or why they haven't come back yet.   Here's how valuable we are to God:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.  But even the hairs of your head are all numbered." Matthew 10:29-30

Did you catch that?  Your hairs are NUMBERED, each one of the hairs on your head has a number.  You better believe that God notices when one falls, or when new ones grow in.  That's how important you are.. you are not worthless.  God has a plan for your life, and even though it may look like your situation is dead in the natural, rest assured that God is in control, and His plan is working itself. 

Be encouraged today.  You are not worthless, and even though you may be feeling the rejection from your spouse, one day that rejection will turn into gratitude... Gratitude from your prodigal that you didn't give up on them.

Stand Strong,

A Promise Ready Stander

It's been awhile since I've written a devotion, but i felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to write and tell you all what God has been sharing and teaching me and wants me to teach you.   God has been speaking to me so much lately, and I know that we all need encouragement, so please open your heart to hear what God is saying to his people.

First, God wants you all to know, as standers, that He wants you to LET GO of your spouse.  WHOA KRYSTAL!  What does that mean?  For years as a stander, I've often heard that we need to let go, and so many of us do not know what that means, here is the meaning.  Quit focusing on your spouse.  Quit looking at what your spouse is doing, quit being anxious, turn your WHOLE FOCUS on God.  Nothing less than everything.   
Come to a complete point of contentment in your stand.  If you haven't, if you're still anxious and doubting or wondering if God will really restore your marriage, then you haven't let go.  LET GO and LET GOD mo…

The Secret to MARRIAGE RESTORATION

By Ess-Jee Rautenbach 

Do you want to know the secret to a restored marriage? I have been blessed to witness many restored and resurrected marriages. It is almost my 5th year in marriage ministry and I'm going to share with you the big mystery and secret I have discovered over the years. This mystery was hidden for thousands and thousands of years. This secret or mystery to marriage restoration has been hidden for ages, but those who find it have restored and resurrected marriages. Not only do they have new life beating in them, their old lives and pasts have been wiped away and everything they now have is brand new.


What would you say is the secret to a restored marriage after divorce? I hear some of you say: “prayer, fasting, be like Jesus or try to copy Jesus Christ, forgiveness, spells, pressuring the one you love, self-help books, follow these easy steps to… etc.” My answer to you is no. I agree that some of them are good to do, but not all of them. In most of those points it i…

1.Most authors have one very specific reason for writing a particular book.  What was your reason for writing You Can Have A Happy Family: Steps to Enjoying Your Marriage and Children?
About four or five years ago, God put the desire in my heart to write someday. Three years ago, while leading Bible Studies in my home, I came across a local publishing class. I felt the Lord strongly leading me to take the class. At the time, I fully expected to save all the…
