Needless to say it is sad to hear and experience just how many people out there are unhappy, how many relationships and marriages are struggling and being destroyed.
I wish to point out at this stage that your focus should not be the other person. When you do this you will forever be in a negative cycle of judgment and destructive behaviour. The devil needs you to open just one door, be it a door you openened through lying, adultery, deceit, anger, stubbornness, etc and from there he has so cleverly designed the rest of the destructive behaviour to follow suit.
How from a lie will flow distrust and there will come jealousy, then sarcasm, then anger, then the temptation for adultery, etc.
And this is not who you are.....that is not who God created you to be!!! You just made the mistake to open the door. Your choices that follow after you openend the door will determine just how big the consequences will be.
What drives you to keep functioning in the unrighteous and untruthfull behaviour?
- the fear of not being good enough?
- the fear of being rejected?
- the fear that the other person might not thing you are perfect anymore?
- that you are scared of becoming vulnerable?
At some point you are going to have to open your heart with wisdom towards someone who is committed to a life with God.
At some point you are going to have to trust in the goodness of God towards you.
At some point you are going to have to take responsibility for your committed behavior and choices to grow in God.
Christianity is not passive!!!! It is a daily walk of good will in all honesty and being upright, being willing to change and to grow. To take action in line with that which is good and honest and to then trust and allow God to do the rest, for the outcome. Other than this it is simply fake good intentions.
Or as Jesus said so clearly in Luke 12:1 & Matt 23 that people who pray and read the Bible and talk about God but are not willing to grow and take action are simply HYPOCRITES.
I know it is not easy......therefore you cannot walk this journey alone!!!! I have tried and failed like so many others! Even Jesus had people whom He trusted and shared with.....so how much more don't we need to?!!!! Just choose that person or those people with wisdom.
