Bible Question: My heart is broken! I recently found emails my husband was writing other women online (illicit in nature). He has since repented to God, sought help from our bishop and (after a pulling teeth episode) admitted his fault to me. This is the only time (he tells me) that this has happened and is Godly sorrowful. He now says that his confession feels as though a weight has been lifted and that we could start the healing process. I've forgiven him and have agreed to counseling. But until the sessions start, how do I deal with the pain/the feeling of brokenness? |
Bible Answer: Dear KNJ9218, The single thing that is fully sufficient and capable of dealing with your pain is the Scriptures. As you hurt, remember that in the same way we all have betrayed our Savior. Remember that of all who have been betrayed, only the Savior is perfectly and entirely innocent. Because of His infinite worth and holiness, our betrayal of Him is infinitely heinous. Yet He offers us grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness. In Him, Doc PS I'd suggest that you and your husband participate in the tutorials available at: http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/ |
