About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

CAN YOU FORGIVE?
CAN YOU FORGIVE?
I AM WRITING THIS TO BENEFIT A GOOD FRIEND IN HOPES THAT IT WILL HELP HER IN HER WALK WITH THE LORD. SHE KNOWS WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT AND NO ONE ELSE KNOWS OR HAS TO KNOW. THIS WILL BE BETWEEN HER AND JESUS AND SHE WILL NEED HIS HELP ALL THE WAY. I AM PUTTING THIS OUT IN MY MORNING MESSAGE JUST IN CASE THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS IS FOR ALL OF YOU.
I KNOW YOUR SPOUSE HAS CHEATED ON YOU AND THE QUESTION IS, CAN YOU FORGIVE HIM? FIRST, WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT FORGIVENESS? OH, WE SAY "I FORGIVE YOU" ALL THE TIME BUT DO WE REALLY MEAN IT. I WAS LOOKING UP THE WORD IN THE 1828 WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY AND SAW A DEFINITION I WASN'T EXPECTING. IT IS "The pardon of an offender, by which he is considered and treated as not guilty." YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO JUST WHAT THIS SAYS IF YOU WANT THE MARRIAGE TO WORK. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TREAT THE MISTAKE AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED, TREAT HIM AS NOT GUILTY. IT IS YOUR CHOICE BUT JESUS WILL HELP YOU THROUGH IT. IN YOUR VOWS YOU PROMISED TO TAKE HIM FOR BETTER OR WORSE. I KNOW THIS IS WORSE THAN YOU EVER CONSIDERED AT THE TIME BUT WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. YOU ARE A STRONG, LOVING WOMAN AND WITH GOD'S HELP, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
SO, DEAR ONE OR ONES, IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET THROUGH THIS, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT TO BED, SO TO SPEAK, AND NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL WORK. IT COULD EVEN MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE MUCH STRONGER BECAUSE HE WILL KNOW JUST HOW MUCH YOU REALLY LOVE HIM.
I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS BUT I AM GOING TO PUT IT HERE ANYWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS THOUGHT ABOUT FORGIVENESS AND THERE IS NO BETTER SCRIPTURE THAN THIS TO SHOW YOU. MATTHEW 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. THIS NEEDS NO MORE EXPLANATION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
We are all human and your blog is noted and I read it.. This is a hard thing to deal with? First rememebr that they did it to Christ first and not only did he hurt her but himself and everyone that it will/does effect. There has to be a time of sorrow/grief followed by repentence on his part and then questions have to be answered. Why? Because was it just lust? Was it something missing/lacking in the marriage? if you don't at least get to the root of the problem how can you fix it. Well! best is to PRAY and ask G-D for help. Then try and with a level head talk and "communicate" with him and let him know how you feel. Seek marriage councilling. And pray for the other party too. Nothing come easy but with G-D all things are possible as it is wriiten. Bless you and David for wriitng this blog.
