I just thought it was better to post this here then in the prayer request forum. My name is Dale and I have been struggling with alot of things in my life. Finances, bills, family life, etc. I have constant tried to seek God in all circumstances. Pushing ahead in faith not knowing what the future will hold. My wife has been very angry for the last couple of months at both me and our girls. Yesterday is when the prayers I have been praying for came into being. My wife finally broke down and confessed on sleeping with another guy which was about 3 months ago. I believe I was more like not wanting to believe her then anything. I immediately left work and went home to talk to her. She was very scared and afraid of what would happen. Praise God for showing me how a husband is to love his wife because of that example of Christ's love for the church it was the tool I had to show love as in the epistle to the Corinthians. We then went to our family pastor and talked to him individually. He knows my wife and really believes she is willing to have this healed and save our marriage. The forgiveness to her seems real natural for me it is the pain that is hard. I say this meaning the enemy now uses this knowledge to be used against me. She told me that it was so hard for her to go to church, sing or anything related to the body. We even had a sermon on confession and she wanted so bad to walk right out. She also told me many times that God spoke to her that she had to tell me and she said no, only for her life to be worse. She knows things are hard right know because of this but I thank God for his grace not just for her but for me as well. Allowing me to know what she did yet in my heart I seem to love her even more so because of her repentance. Yes I will be carrying this burden, but at least I know I am not alone. I don't just want to say this for prayer but also to encourage anyone that may not know what true forgiveness is. Just because I struggle with he hurt does not mean I don't forgive, it just means I am a human made of flesh. Thank you all for hearing and your prayers. I just pray that this could also be an encouragement for some too!
God Bless,
Dale
