A verse to send to my husband

[devastated]

Hi, my husband left me about three months ago. I'm not sure why, although there may be someone else. He was a Christian in the past, though I'm not sure what he believes anymore. He may still believe that there is a God, but possibly not much more. I am looking for any suggestions for helpful bible verses to send to my husband. I'm not looking for a long one or anything. I am just going to write him a letter saying how I feel and what I think of things. Hopefully it won't be too angry. I just need to get things out. I want him to know that I think he has done the wrong thing and I'm incredibly angry and hurt. But I also want to put across that he was (and probably still is somewhere) an amazing person. And perhaps just a verse or two to encourage him to turn back to God. And how Jesus is our saviour and gives us grace... I just don't know many verses by heart, so I'm asking for advice. Any suggestions would be great - thanks

Go for it if it will make you feel better.

It's really hard to be still in love with someone who is treating you callously. It's very hard. In Psalm 139 David talks about God's love for us and it is no matter what the circumstances. It's a very beautiful piece of scripture.

One of my favorites was 1 Tim 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

HOWEVER You'd probably get much more mileage out of one of the verses on forgiveness.

Luke 17:4 NLT
Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him."

And perhaps the love passage 1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous ; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly ; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth ; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails ;

Then ask him for his forgiveness for your part in the problems that led to the separation. That is if you really are interested in reconciliation and even if your not it's a good thing to apologize anyway, kind of cleanses the spirit... like in Matt 5:23 "Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar and go ; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.
