1 | I want my wife back | Bible general Archive 3 | Repentant1 | 177662 | ||
I want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith, despite the pain you feel. I, too, am a repentant adulterer, but my outcome was overflowing with the grace and mercy of our God. You do not mention what your marriage was like prior to your committing this sin, so the pain caused her may be running deeper than you know, or are capable of admitting. The scriptures you have mentioned appear valid and your wife's thoughts seem reasonable, but how do we reconcile Galatians 6:1? "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."(NIV) I personally believe this text is not only warning of possibly falling into the same sin, but I believe it is warning us against the danger of unforgiveness. Once you repented, God forgave you (1John 1:9)and you were made whole. You need to continue in prayer for your wife, but make sure it is in the spirit of humility. Remember that she may still be going through the stages of grief, and you did hurt her deeply. When fellow believers suggested my wife should have left me, I asked her why she stood by me. Her response changed my life forever. She simply said, "I see the man that God sees." My prayer is that your wife will begin to see the man God sees. |
