I failed a commitment.

[xxbenxx]

I had committed myself to purity and was going to save sex till marriage.
I met this girl that I absolutely like and want to spend my life with her but I have only been with her for a couple of months.
I truly feel that she is perfect for me and I feel so bad, I know I failed God and myself and her.

I dunno what to do or think. I need some advice and guidance. I feel truly sorry and want to turn my life around. I talked to my girlfriend about it and she is willing to help.

I have fallen from where I used to be when I was so close to God.

It's not the end of the road, just a bump along the way. Jesus is there to pick you up and help with your continuing journey.

As John said, it is not the end of the road. People do make mistakes, especially in this area - it can be very tempting - but the important thing is to put things in place so it is less likely to happen again. God will forgive you, but you need to forgive yourself as well It is great that your girlfriend wants to help as well.

If you can, try to put things in place so you are not in a position to be tempted. For example, not being completely alone, keeping doors open etc. It really helps to remove the temptation when you know someone could walk in at any moment :S

We all mess up at times and fall but God forgives and will help you to move on and become strong again.

Blessings,
Katie

Hey Bro, DW and I were a bit inapproriate with one another while dating, and I did apologize to her after we were married. We got over it and we have a superb marriage. She is dear to me and we do help some say if they can do it so can we.

Just confess it to God, ask Him for His strength to deal with the temptation and remember He forgives and He dos understand you. Oh yeah and He loves you both.
