Day 5 the path

Postby sbennett » Thu Sep 23, 2010 10:42 pm

:oops: It has been a rough day from feeling ill , woke up with a bad headache...husband trying to get a new job (a good one) and so much going on today. But really I like to be busy...it keeps me from thinking of unwanted things!
Ok...here is my problem. My problem is wanting love and attention from a man that is not my husband and that is very selfish. Oh how the devil has lied to me ....husband is mean..treats you bad, you deserve better, other person thinks you are great, tells you to leave the marriage,,,start over to be happy, do what you want to have fun,...etc....And I just ate it up and believed all the lies! i feel really stupid. My conscience was in the back of my mind telling me I was messing up...being with another man so wrong. I ignored it..ENJOYED it. Even thought I was so sneaky. I feel so ashamed now. UGH!! Now, I see how the devil hid the truth from me, fed on my selfishness, and it was so easy. That scares me. How could I be so weak?

I am now looking at the problem from a Godly point of view....its hard to do. I will pray that God will keep me focused on Him...always!

sbennett, the enemy is always looking to drag us into temptation. That is why it is so urgent that we have a close binding relationship with the Lord...and that we put Him first...so that when temptations are thrown our way we are aware of what they are and can see them as the enemies evil tactics.

Just remember you are forgiven by the blood of Jesus...don't beat yourself up over and over because God doesn't want you to do this..He wants you to allow His forgiveness to wash over you, so that you can move forward...and begin new.

luv ya
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

sbennett *hug*

Its good when we can recognize what is truth and what are lies.

The conviction of the Holy Spirit opens the door for repentance and forgiveness. He does not condemn. Any voice inside you that condemns you is not the voice of God. God offers Grace. But it is us that must make the choice to accept His mercy.

God bless u sister
