You Reap What You Sow

Being a Christian I am not an advocate for karma. Even though my flesh might desire that. The Lord will give His level of mercy and judgment to those who are unrepentant and have hurt us.

I do believe that unless others walk the horrible road of betrayal and infidelity, they really don't understand the depths of this pain. This why you can't listen to others when they say, I would never divorce. What did you do to cause them to stray? Aren't you over this yet? Put the past in the past. Just let go and move on. These are just a few idiotic statements that can be made by those who have not been betrayed in this way. Please don't listen to them. This is your journey. Rebuke all of that.

I have been through multiple programs and read many books on surviving infidelity. I have learned so much. I was stuck for a long time. I desired his repentance. I wanted him to show some godly sorrow or remorse for the affair. A part of me still does. This has not happened and only the Lord knows if it ever will. I had to let this go. Georgia Schaffer says, you can't wait around on the person who hurt you to heal you. If you do, you might never heal. This woke me up.

He won't ever truly understand the gravity of what he has done or the devastation he has caused with his choice to have an affair. The ripple will be impacting our lives for years to come. Unless he were to experience the same kind of betrayal he really won't ever truly understand the pain he has inflicted. I also believe they are in such denial they can't even believe what they have done. They have to minimize it and demonize you and the marriage. They do this in order to justify their horrible actions.

Know that you don't need karma. They will and are suffering the consequences of those choices.

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8

The best thing we can do is live our best life without them. Find your joy in the Lord and your happiness in living this beautiful life. God is still writing your story and there will be Glory.
