Wednesday Word She still shuddered in disbelief mixed with sorrow at the memories of the
beginning of the end as she read through some of her old blogs. Thanks for joining us for the final Wednesday’s Word for this year with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. Our hope is that her blog will help shed some light on whatever is going on or will go on that threatens to send you to a dark place as we begin a New Year. Her own words took her back to this time when they were still together, and they were reading the Bible together. She would read the devotional and she would read the scriptures. This particular Advent devotion was about the word love…such a deep subject but it began correctly: love is not “dutiful,” but voluntary, and God, who sent His Son voluntarily to save each one of us was the ultimate example of love. The verses continued to confirm what she already knew, and yet, there’s no such thing as being able to grasp and hold this kind of love for it is uncontainable. She remembered shedding tears as she realized that every verse they had read together just reinforced and continued to illuminate a new level of love of God, from God and about God. She remembered the revelation she experienced in that moment: that the kind of love that God wanted her to express to her covenant partner was the kind that could only come from God, an unconditional love that forgave and moved forward. She shook her head back to the present, another revelation igniting spars in the dark crevices of her hurting soul: she had passed the test and though she didn’t get what she thought she was going to, a healed marriage, no one could ever take those three years of unconditional loving away from her. Yes, greater is He that is in her than he that is in the world. Friend, can I encourage you that when we partner with God, we will never be alone, no matter what we go through. Love, Kim-Evinda
