Don’t Rush into
Remarriage
Day 140
Dr. Jim Conway says, “In the early days of losing Sally, it
was a desperateness, ‘What am I going to do for all of the holes that have been
left by her death?’ And so the logical thing, you think, is to find somebody
else who can help you in all of these areas of life. She was not just a wife.
We wrote books together; we traveled together; we stood side by side as we did
seminars; we managed the office together; we did the counseling together. We
were just totally intertwined.
“In the early days of panic there’s this urgency to try to
replace that, but it’s the worst time to do this because you’re just under so
much other stress. The choices you make would be panic choices instead of
choices that are best for you.”
You are only ready for the potential of remarriage when you
no longer need that relationship to feel whole. Let God fill your gaping holes,
and trust Him to direct the paths of your future relationships. Your
relationship with God must be your primary concern.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
Holy Spirit, I trust in You to fill me and to guide me. Give
me Your hope that overflows. Amen.
