"I'll never trust marriage because of what I've seen."
How it sounds in your head: Why would I ever get married if this is what it becomes? I've seen behind the curtain and it's ugly. I'll just stay single forever. At least I won't get hurt like this.
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD."
-- Proverbs 18:22Source: Trauma lie from enemy—using present pain to steal future covenant blessing.
Her daily experience of marriage is conflict and pain. The known suffering feels safer to avoid than risking unknown future pain.
Isaac was grieving his mother's death when Rebekah arrived. Genesis 24:67 says 'Isaac was comforted after his mother's death' through his marriage to Rebekah—instant healing and joy through covenant relationship.
I REFUSE the lie that all marriage ends in pain. IT IS WRITTEN that he who finds a wife finds a GOOD THING and obtains FAVOR from the Lord. The battle I'm witnessing is NOT God's design—it's the enemy's attack. IT IS WRITTEN that I am blessed coming in and going out, and that includes my future marriage. I will NOT let trauma steal my covenant blessing. God is preparing a marriage for me that will HEAL, not harm. I trust His good design!
Father is running toward you with a vision of YOUR future marriage that will make you weep with joy—nothing like what you're witnessing now. He's saying, 'Don't let their battle steal your blessing. I have something BEAUTIFUL waiting for you.'
