this is going to sound crazy, but I honestly feel like a completely different person. I spoke to my dear my Mina, she gave a very very wise word. After I shared the anxiety I have felt these last couple of days, after I told her my doubts, my questions, my fears she said this word. If he has repented, has God not cleansed him and removed all sin, yet making him new? So if God has forgiven him completely and has created him new, why are you still going to be looking at him as if he still had that sin? Is he not a new creation? Is he not made new?
She nailed it. That word which she spoke brought peace within me. It made me remember that sin is sin, yet when we confess our sins, he forgives, and he makes us new again. So if God has forgiven us, who are we to still judge one another?
Because of this, I also realized that I needed to be different. Because I am not dealing with his past, from this day forward, I am dealing with a new person, a new creation. I will not judge him because of past sins. I will lift him up, and I will speak words of healing, words of restoration, words of peace unto his life.
And I will allow God to be first in my life. Because then I will know that it was He who did all of this in our lives. We didn't do it, it was God because he loves us both.
I love you Lord. I don't know, I really don't know where any of this will go, but I know that you are going to do amazing things in his life and in my life. I lift him up and I declare that he will be the man you have created him to be. And that this time around, during this second chance you are giving us, i will be that encouragement, that friend that he needs.
Give me words of wisdom Lord, allow me to listen, help me to listen. Thank you, because this, what happened tonight, its your truth. thank you.
