Standing: what is it? STANDING - Choosing to live by Gods Word in spite of seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Choosing to believe God for healing and restoration instead of bowing to the worlds solution (divorce). Praying for the salvation of ones spouse and for Gods spirit of forgiveness to imbue ones life. STANDER - One who has chosen to STAND for marriage in spite of a mate who has chosen to depart...standing on the truth of the Word of God which says God created marriage as a till-death-relationship. When you choose to stand for a marriage that is obviously failing or even dead, you must willingly give up all your rights to criticize, condemn, complain about or to your spouse. You must let go ALL ASPECTS of the marriage into Gods hands, acknowledging that without Him, there can be no restoration. You must first allow God to come into your heart and cleanse you of all the anger, rage, bitterness towards your mate so that you can intercede on his/her behalf. Standing requires courage and conviction to hold your head high when your family, friends, acquaintances, and especially your spouse tell you to give up and move on with your life. You must let God lead your every step. Choose to believe His Word rather than the world. Unknown~ Karen~
