Passenger
#8 – A Divorced Woman
For
the past thirty or so years, divorce has had a major impact on the lives of
those involved. The reality is that the
impact is never confined to the two spouses.
As a retired principal, I experienced the ripple effect time and again
as children had to make many life adjustments.
The extended family was greatly affected as well.
One
of our passengers is a woman (could certainly be a man) who is searching for a
new life, hope for the future, and internal healing. She heard about the journey and treated
herself to this experience. She wants to
meet the driver and spend some time of renewal with Him.
This
lady is filled with emotions that seem to not go away. From anger to sorrow to fear to
hopelessness---her days and nights are lost.
Probably her greatest roadblock is guilt. Without realizing it sometimes, she is still
asking herself what she could have done differently. While she and I are not psychologists and
therapists, the driver has some viable solutions for her dismay.
The
Holy Spirit would love to enter her heart and warm her soul, fill the holes in
her heart, and drench her with hope and forgiveness. But that is a gift from God that we cannot
purchase or earn. It is however there
for the asking.
If
this is someone you know, look and listen for opportunities to share the Good
News God has to offer her. He might even
use YOU as a Messenger. Be sure to say
YES if he does!

Questions for comments: (Feel free to share anything of comfort each day)
1.
Whether it
is a family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor who fits this profile, God
loves this person unconditionally. In
society today, we tend to “give people space and time” in difficult
situations. While this can have great
value, we have the opportunity to recognize pain. Prayer is personal and an enormous gift to
silently give to those who are suffering.
God will hear your intercessory prayer.
2.
Reflect
today on what that time with the Drive would be like----------can we even
imagine what He would tell her?
