Divorce. This word is packed with emotions. Pain, heartache, sleepless nights, agony, destruction. It may also be a liberating word for some. One that signifies freedom, relief, and peace. Books have been written on this subject, some better than others. Opinions have been shared, once again, some better than others. One of the benefits of going verse by verse through a book in God’s Word is that you get to cover topics that are fun and encouraging. But you also have to cover topics that are hard, difficult, and painful. Such is the case today.
