“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Mona Shriver was taken completely by surprise. Gary, her husband of 20 years confessed to a long-term affair. She was devastated.
Mona says, “I had to totally rely on God because there were a lot of days that I didn’t think I was going to make it.”
Through those difficult months, Mona learned that whatever happens in her life, whatever her circumstance, God would–and did sustain her!
Was it painful? Yes, it was. And there were many times when Mona had to constantly remind herself of God’s promise in the Bible: “My grace is sufficient for you.” She read it over and over.
It took some time and a lot of work, but Gary and Mona’s marriage was eventually healed. And today they come alongside other couples in an adultery recovery ministry. God’s grace is sufficient for you!
