Rock-bottom needs are met in God. He never intends that a companion provide our complete personal security. The Christian who experiences the devastation of being cast out of another person's life and love has the potential of experiencing acceptance with God in ways indescribable. God's acceptance does not take away all the pain of marital rejection, but it reverses the effect of that rejection. It floods earth's sorrows with heaven's joy and gives fresh meaning and purpose to life.
Bitterness follows hard on the heels of rejection.
But any who give it lodging are harboring the worst of criminals. It takes faith to thwart bitterness effectively. Faith chooses to acknowledge a sovereign God. Faith responds with an obedient yes to the direction of God. Faith receives heaven's responses to human needs.
