My husband is born again but sometimes I don't think he listens to God's voice or he doesn't hear Him. Either way we don't stand eye to eye and at times it is a problem. Last night he was in severe pain (he has health issues) and he's cranky. I say something 'smart' and he says, "that's being a good Christian". What? Why would you attack my faith? I immediately felt the pain. It's the same pain I feel when unbelievers mock my Lord. I confessed my 'smartyness', cried, then forgave him. If God can forgive those who mock Him, then I can forgive my partner for mocking also. Yet the pains of loneliness grow deeper, but I can't let it discourage me. Somehow I enjoy the feelings of my life being just me and Him. It's simpler that way. On the other hand my husband said he says those things because he's jealous of my bible study and prayer life. I wanted to yell at him so badly because that's his choice. Maybe, just maybe he'll feel convicted.
