praying for you, your wife, your marriage and that it would be restored . I also pray for God to lead you to the Church he wants you to be involved with and worship God.

Brother mdaily67,
I get the church experience can be disappointing at times. God’s “church” is a place where imperfect people congregate. And as long as it’s the place where imperfect people gather, there will be opportunities to become disillusioned. That’s why we are instructed to keep our eyes on JESUS ✝ instead of people. All this to say, that our Christian experience will be tested, especially in the area of walking in love. We are called to love the unlovely. A lot of times unfortunately the unlovely among us are our Christian brothers and sisters. So, in light of this, the “church” may not be where the issue lies. The Truth is, the issue of why we feel as though we don’t fit in, may reside in us. The harsh Truth is, It could very well be a character flaw in us that the LORD wants us to face, and to deal with that’s behind our inability to make and keep friends also….. I speak this dabber friend from experience, not as a word of condemnation. It may be that some real old fashioned soul searching could shine a light on what the core issue is that’s driving a wedge in-between your having a thriving marriage, and keeping and maintaining healthy “church” relationships. To be completely transparent, for me, my soul searching revealed areas in my life that needed some attention. The Holy Spirit 🕊 has a way of putting His finger on the root cause of why things in our lives sometimes seem to get out of alignment with the LORD’S prescribed method of being and acting in a way that’s conducive to our spiritual growth. For instance, I used to watch people until I learned one day that I was as much at fault for doing the same things they did. This for me, was a pride issue that needed to be burned out of me like dross through the fire of sanctification. This prideful habit of focusing on others, even thinking that they were thinking about me all the time was a bondage that I’m happy to say doesn’t affect me as much anymore. I say all this to say, the problem may lie at our feet, and we don’t need to look anywhere else.
Father, You see mdaily67. And You know his up-rising, and his sitting down. You see whether or not the problem of him having a not so prefect marriage is laying at his feet. And You see whether or not his keeping his eyes on the wrong thing has become counter productive to his spiritual growth. Either way LORD bring clarity as to whether or not he’s needing to lay some things on the alter in order to experience the best that You have in store for him. For his marriage, and for him feeling as though he’s accepted by his church family. A lot of the time the problem starts with us LORD. How grateful we are that You never give up on us. Father, help mdaily67 to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of You and Your WORD. 📖And to know deep down in his “knower”, that the good work that You’ve begun in him You [will] be faithful to complete…
Asking in the Name of JESUS. ✝
Amen!💞
