Ron, will God bless my marriage?

Sandra remarried after her first husband left her and the kids. Her guilt haunted her; she thought she needed to divorce her second husband to get right with God. I assured her another divorce was not what God wanted. In Deuteronomy 24 he strictly forbids divorcing a second spouse to reconcile with the first. Her sense of shame made her question if she could ask God to bless her current marriage. “Absolutely you can,” I said. “God doesn’t withhold grace as a punishment. What’s forgiven is gone.”
