In light of my life the past few months and the chaos and confusion surrounding it, I have a word or two to the man or woman sitting on the fence looking at the grass on the other side. It only appears greener than yours because of your perspective. Because youre above it you cant see the weeds and tangled mess of thorns below the sod. All you see is the bright green blades and dew drops that make it appear lush and enticing. Its all a mirage. I could make a list a mile long of all the reasons you shouldnt cross the fence but in my heart I know they wont stop you. Telling you God is against it wont matter. Proving to you what scripture dictates wont prevent you from taking the leap. Youll tell yourself its love but the truth is its just new..exciting...and ultimately forbidden. You wont see it until its too late. So instead I will just prepare you for the dark journey ahead. I cant begin to describe the immeasurable pain you will cause everyone around you. You wont be able to find a vessel large enough to hold your family and friends tears. The wake of your decision wont just affect you and your family. Itll reach out to your community..your workplace...your church and even beyond. Itll flip your universe. I cant prepare you for the shame and grief you will experience. The hopelessness of knowing God warned you and said child youre going to get burned and you ignored him consumes you. The truth is this desire you have is all smoke and mirrors. Its a well laid trap by Satan to destroy you and all you hold dear. Hes manipulative predator who is a master at the hunt. Hes an excellent marksman whose arrows land in all the places he aims. He can do this because he knows your weaknesses. Youll tell yourself its real and youll believe it with every fiber in you. And nobody will be able to deter you from the choice you make. Each passing day will bring an unveiling of what youre doing. ..how wrong it is...and exactly what youve become. The darkness grows and in desperation you begin to pull others in the pit with you. Much like a drowning victim youll climb on top of them to save yourself ultimately drowning everyone in your sin. Then reality hits. Youre caught in a trap and you cant find your way out. Harsh words are slung at you and pierce your flesh. This person you saw as a new beginning and hope slowly comes to light. Information was there but you ignored it. Theres a method to the madness and the reality is youre one of many people caught up in this hunt. A member of a club you never knew existed. The strength required to overcome it will have to be supernatural. Itll come through Christs love and will manifest itself in the arms of those who love you unconditionally. Who chase after you with prayer and begging God for your safe return. Its survivable but will take great resolve determination and repentance. Just like when youre lost hiking you have to stop and get your boundaries firm. Look around you And then Run head strong to God. You will need those who prayed for you ceaselessly to serve as a compass and Let them lead you moment by moment back into the light. For thats where healing begins. You cant undo the path youve taken. You cant take away the pain from others or yourself. You own your part in it. After all nobody forced you. Likewise the deceit was there. Everything youve held dear is at stake and your only hope is God. He is the only one who can redeem and restore. As in any sin...its never hopeless. Im blessed with friends and family who love me and know my heart. A strong Godly man who never gave up....Who tracked me harder than the one who was pursuing me and then waited to put me back together. It takes two to break a marriage and it takes God to heal one. Im thankful for a strong will, strong family, strong friends and a righteous God. Sin has consequences but forgiveness brings peace.
