AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 7:17 ¶ Only, let each one live the life which the Lord has assigned him, and to which God has called him [for each person is unique and is accountable for his choices and conduct, let him walk in this way]. This is the rule I make in all the churches. |
Bible Question: ok this is an addition to my previous question..how do I let go of someone that I love so much without having feelings of anger, sadness, loneliness, and unappreciation w/in me?? what scriptures can I read to help me in my daily walk during this rough battle...especially when there's a child in the picture???? |
Bible Answer: You have received two good answers to consider. However, the only thing that I would add is how important it is to consider the child. Sadly it sounds as though the child will grow up without a dad. However hurt you may feel the child and its needs must not be forgotten. Indeed if you are a Christian (and in fact even if you are not) the needs of the child have to take priority in your thinking. I believe this is something that you recognise which is why you have mentioned it. It will also take your mind off thinking of your own grief. The child is the product of your relationship and had no responsibility for it. At least you did have a choice in the matter. There is no way of preventing some hurt to the child, but at least you can ensure that it knows its father. I am sure that you will do so. This does of course make a complete break difficult. So much depends on your circumstances. But certainly I would second the importance of obtaining Christian counselling from someone qualified and who knows your full situation. With regard to the deep feelings it can only be said that such an experience is common to many people. To begin with it often feels as though life is not worth living. But please be assured that you will feel differently in a year's time when the ache has dulled. In some ways it is similar to a bereavement. Meanwhile you must recognise that God appreciates you (and I am sure many others do too). And you must learn to let your hurting turn you towards God. That way your bitter experience will finally turn out to be a blessing - for everyone except to some extent the child. |
