way that Christ drank the bitter cup prepared for Him, wives are to drink of the cup
of bitterness prepared for them.

Yahshua sought no escape from the will of the Father. He could have sought escape
had He desired it. He told His disciples, “Do you not know that I could request of My
Father more than twelve legions of angels and He would put them at My disposal?”

Women today also have may avenues of escape. They can divorce a spouse for any
perceived violation, or with no violation at all. They can take a spouse to court over
the abuse they are suffering. They can seek refuge in the legal systems, or
governmental institutions. They can call on the church to intervene. They can simply
flee.

Or they can entrust themselves to the One who judges righteously. They can suffer
while uttering no threats. They can be reviled and not revile in return.

In my heart I would like to show women that there is another way. I would like to
spare young girls and women from all suffering. I would like to keep them from being
abused and violated. I would like to deliver them from the whole rotten cesspool of
this fallen world. Yet I know this is not the Father’s way.

in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people
alive.”

The Father uses the evil of others to bring forth pure gold, refined gold, in our lives.

I would like to tell women, young and old, that there is a way of escape from all of the
suffering of life. I will still weep when I hear them share with me the agony of the
things they have had to walk through. I will still ache inside when I hear of innocent
hearts that are betrayed and lives subjected to ruinous circumstances. I will still
marvel at the unfairness of it all. But I cannot tell them that they need not drink this
bitter cup.

There was no other path for Yahshua. There was no other path for Joseph. There is
