First let me say I don't believe this is chance. I've been apprehensive about an upcoming meeting with my husband's estranged mother and sister who have never acknowledged me in 9 years of marriage because of religious, racial, and cultural differences. Recent events have brought this family secret, our marriage and child, out in the open and after first disowning him, they have come around and wish to now 'get to know me'. My first worry was, they're going to honor kill me. But I've been praying about it and have been prayed for, and tonight, after an argument with my husband about the meeting, (he thinks it's 'stupid' of me to think they would hurt me), I asked God to guide me as I opened my Bible to a passage that could help. I fell upon 2 cor 5 at 'the ministry of reconciliation'. Reading vs. 11-21. didn't make much sense so I got on my knees and asked again. This time it opened up to Romans 5 and vs 11 ends with 'reconciliation'. I looked it up and one of the definitions is 'to become friendly with (someone) after estrangement'. I take this to mean God approves and not to worry. Has anything like this happened to you?
