alot of prayer

[calluna]

is needed.

Please please pray for my marriage.

Please pray for my husband, he is hurting desperately.

We are both hurting in different ways.

We do love eachother.

God is greater than all of this, I trust He will heal us both.

I believe we are going to need counselling. There is one at my church who I have heard is a great marriage counsellor.

Father, I left up Calluna and her husband to You. I ask Lord that You would bring in Your peace and love. Allow Your Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and bring healing and restoration. In Jesus Name.

Rest in His peace Calluna and don't be dismayed. Allow Jesus to work in your heart for the joy of the Lord will be your strength. God bless you & your husband.

Love,
Snowrose

keep praying please

thank you so far for praying, please keep lifting my husband and myself up in prayer.

Ok I feel the need to tell you what is going on in my life. I will just confess now, my husband now knows of my infidelity from a few years ago. It is something I have carried around all this time. I know the Lord forgives me, and I have grown very much in Him since then.

I am very repentent of what I did, and I have experienced the vastness of God and His grace, mercy, forgiveness, His abounding love. I have been humbled through this experience, I have seen how Holy and sovereign God is, how we are to repent of our sin and fall on our knees before Him. We cannot get away with our sin. We cannot hide. I am not the same person as I was back then and it has been a long journey for me, but now the journey has just begun for my husband, who is crushed and in alot of pain, it is fresh to him. You may ask why confess such a horrible thing, well it was the Lord's timing for me to tell. God made it clear to me that I would have to tell my husband one day, and I asked God to let me know very clearly when that time would be.

I hurt so much, because my hubby is hurting, the pain is very raw in my husband. I love him desperately, and I wish I could change things, but I cannot. Only the Lord can heal the pain, and comfort my husband.

Though we both need prayer, Please pray for my husband specifically, my husband is saved, his walk with the Lord is not very strong, but it is there. We do not have any friends as such, we are new to the area, and there is no one close he can talk to.

I did seek counsel from the lady from our church. I needed help and the Lord gave her to me. God used this lady to minister to me in a wonderful way. She said that herself and her husband who is an elder at our church would be there for us both if we needed them. I am aware that my husband and I have a long road ahead, and I may have to withstand some possible reactions from my husband, anger, distance, etc....
So far I have seen only the Grace of God in my husband, he says he forgives me and has been cordial towards me, he expressed the pain he was in and how stunned he is. His response towards me is more than I could have ever expected.

to all of you for your kindness and prayers.

Hi sister Calluna. You are a loved member of this forum and I have a lot of respect for you. You say you weren't the same person back then, were you unsaved?

You are blessed to have a husband who loves you and who forgives you. It's real tough on him, I'm sure of that.

About 3 years ago, my dad who was a professed Christian since I was born, committed adultery. My mom and dad were married around 33 years at that stage. We didn't see it coming.

My dad, unlike you, would not repent of his wicked act, he justified his actions and made demands. My mom finally told us enough is enough after continuing to live with him for 6 months. She wanted to work things out, but it's a bit hard when your husband is actively living in adultery.

To make a long story short. It's all about God's grace. You chose to tell your husband about the infedelity, he didn't find out by accident. Be sure that he will have a few more questions for you. But know above all, that you are loved, first by God, then by your hubby.

You mentioned you have a teenage son. I was a teenager when my parents divorced, it wasn't fun. I think you need to speak with your husband and collectively agree if it's best to keep this between the two of you, or share it with the family. Since it's mainly between you and God and your husband, I think it's better if you keep it that way.

It's good to ask for guidance in this matter. But know that since you are a child of God, you have been forgiven of your past sins. Therefore, there's no need to confess to the world, if only to get closure, it's best to look at the broad picture. I'm talking about many things at once. It doesn't really matter.

Place your trust in God. Ask Him for that which you need. Make decisions with your husband, including him in your day and soon this will all be history.

I will keep you in my prayers sister.
God bless you
Much love

Thank you Teraside, for your love and respect and being a brother in Christ.

Over a decade ago I believe I was saved, but I was not walking the walk, and I had not surrendered my all, and I stumbled in a huge way about 4 years ago. Now I have the joy of my salvation and have a close relationship with Jesus, I live my life according to His will and my desire is to obey God.

Please listen to this...... Two days ago, I was faced with the Almighty power of God. Something that I thought was long gone, sin in my life from almost 20 years ago. prior to my marriage suddenly re-surfaced. It is really baffling and incredible. I have moved to a different country, I have been married for almost 17 years, lived my life, got saved in that time. .
Yes, I am forgiven for my sin, I am cleansed from all unrighteousness by the shed blood of Jesus. But the consequences of my sin are still set in motion. We cannot always escape from our past. You call it history, and you think it can be over and done with. But no. God has other plans. He is Almighty God, He is always, always in control. This is why it was time I had to tell my husband of my past and my adultery, it was best to come from me than from elsewhere and it was the right thing for me to do.

My husband and I will seek God's wisdom through all of this, and we both know that we will get through this. I trust in the Lord and hope that our marriage can become even stronger.

I understand it is not neccessary to confess to the world. I know it is between us and God, and whoever the Holy Spirit directs us to share with and for my husband and I to respect one another in this regard. We cannot predict the future and often the Lord uses us to minister to others who have been through the same trials and tribulations.

Hi sister calluna. I don't presume to know everything, far from it. I do sincerely apologize to you if my post was offending in any way, that was not my intention.

John 9:31
Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

My post was typed in light of scripture such as this:

Romans 3:25
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

All I can say is that I will keep you in prayer and pray for God's will to be done in your life.

I apologize again,

 

[Chad]

Your in my prayers sister. Be faithful. Its tough, but GOD's power is tougher than any circumstances we may face.

We all love you, Jesus loves you and that's what matters. GOD will heal on His timing for sure.

 

[calluna]

Thank you Chad for your response and prayers.

Brother Teraside, you are always a blessing. No offense from your words. You were kind and considerate, and just offering some counsel that I do appreciate and definitely understand and I thank you for the scripture which confirms what you are saying.

I was just responding in a way to show the flip side to my situation, it was not meant to have been a harsh retort to your post. It's just that we may live believing everything from our past, remains there, we can move on. But sometimes our past can rears it's ugly head. I just wanted to share and maybe remind others just how in Control God is of our lives.

My Lord and saviour is there to comfort me, He is my High Tower, my refuge and strength. I love my Jesus so much. I am very emotional right now. But my faith is strong.

Calluna
