Hurting

[GChild247]

My husband once said he is a minister called by God, Now he leaft me after 10 years of marriage and moved a lady in with hi, He is taking care of her and totally abandoned me. How can a man of God do this and his conscience don't bother him?

Hurting,

I don't know the circumstance of your problem but I believe he was not call by God. God call men to salvation by the preaching of the cross. That call goes out to all men. The scriptures teach that men must have a desire to do that type of work and be taught. 2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

My heart goes out to you. I will pray to night for you. Remember the words of God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I hope you look to the Lord Jesus Christ who can only truly bring you understanding and comfort during this time. Let me know if I can be of further help.

I am very sorry to hear what has happened. Your husband may have abandoned you, but God never will. In the days ahead, you will find comfort in this fact. I know it to be true, as I was once in the same position as you are. Try not to think of the "why" and let yourself be comforted by God Himself in this time of dealing with your loss. Yes, it is painful. No, it is not fair. YOU are still much loved by God and nothing will ever change that.

Your husband knows that he has done that which is NOT right...allow yourself to forgive him his folly. CHOOSE to do so. God understands your disappointment and aching heart and wants to be your all in all. He will never abandon you, my dear lady, and one day you will be able to comfort others with the same comfort that He offers you.

You are loved. Truly you are.

My Dear Sister in Christ,
Never believe it! Never believe that his conscience will not haunt him day and night for what he has done to you! I am praying for you right now, as I type this message to you......
Christine and Pastor Trent are right; you are deeply loved by our risen Lord, and although we hurt because of what has happened in the recent past, God sees into your future, and you do not. There is NO way to know all of the wonder and beauty that He holds in store for you in that future, on this earth, as well as in heaven, sister. My heart goes out to you like you could not imagine. I, like Christine, was once wearing the shoes that you stand in. Someone that I loved dearly once ripped my heart out, and made a complete aand utter fool of me, because I was the last to know what was happening. I was so in love, I was totally blinded! I do not know what our Lord holds for you in your future, but today, for me, I have an awesome loving wife, and two great kids.

We love you dear sister, and I know that Pastor Trent and Christine are also praying for you. You can do ALL things, through Christ, who strengthens you!

My heart and prayers are with you.

Your brother in Christ,

Darryl

What happened to this dear sister in Christ? My heart hurts for her, and I pray that God leads her to find comfort in Christ.

[Christine]

I don't know, Darryl. This is the only time she ever posted.

You can rest assured that if she allowed God to work in her life, as opposed to having a pity party, she is well on her way to recovery.

Abandonment is one of the toughest hurdles to overcome, and one of the easiest to succumb to in the area of bitterness and unforgiveness. I learned about Gods forgiveness thru making the choice to forgive others for the slights I believed they delivered unto me. If He can forgive ME for all MY sins, then I can choose with my will to forgive those slights, real or imagined, that I feel others have done unto me.

When put into perspective, there really is no option...but until it actually lands in YOUR backyard, one understands little of what God went thru for us.

It has always appalled me what we as human beings are capable of inflicting on one another. I, for one, will always be eternally grateful for GRACE.
