I do have a question though. When speaking of the Venerable Theodora, you wrote that she:
"refused to heed the pleas of her husband to return to him-for all of this was only a diabolical illusion"
How would being reconciled to her husband be a diabolical illusion? Wouldn't God want a husband and wife to be reconciled to each other? She was already repentant.
Her life was part of a bigger plan from God, if she’d reconciled at that moment, her story wouldn’t be as noteworthy and we wouldn’t have as strong of a story to learn from. In her heart was God and it wasn’t the time for her to return to her husband. (Ecclesiastes 3)
This was a good post.
