Thank you for checking in on us.  Today, his "sin" was brought up again.  People who just want to gossip. Although it is true, they don't need to be talking about him.  Every time "it" is brought up my husband can't sleep, and the doubts come creeping back in.  I humbly ask all the prayer warrior to intercede on his behalf to get him through the night.  Thanks for listening!

Yes I have prayed for your husband HIC

[2nd Timothy]

Your husband sounds like he is really battling this thing.   I'm sure you have brought this up, but in case you haven't...

Considering the price that Jesus paid for his sin, and was yet willing to forgive this very sin, shouldn't it be all the more easier for your husband to forgive himself?   Guilt is like a bag of bricks.  Once you realize you ARE forgiven, you simply put the bag of guilt down and move forward.   Gods laws and judgment will never chase us beyond the cross...to quote/paraphrase Spurgeon.   We are free from our guilt and shame on the other side of calvary, because Christ bore it all for us.  To carry guilt beyond the cross shows that one may need to revisit the cross and lay it down there where it belongs.

I know you know all of this, but perhaps your husband needs to be reminded.

Still praying sister!  May God's love and mercy shine on you both.

[2nd Timothy]

How are things going HIC?

HIC, praying your husband will realize and claim his forgiveness as promised in 1 John 1:9...."If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

I'm sorry some people are gossiping about your husband.  Gossip hurts and can hinder a person....so this is why it is a sin.  I pray people will realize they should love your husband in Christ and try to help him to recover....

Please tell your husband that there are people who care about him.   I pray he will be able to overlook these people and concentrate on that God does love him and forgives him through Christ.  As others have said here, forgiveness from God doesn't go by feelings.....isn't that wonderful to know for all of us?

Hi y'all,

I feel like I've been on a roller coaster and I can't get off!

Hubby is so spiritually low, and I don't know what to do for him, other than continuing to pray. 


Thanks to all who have praying for us.

Hi HeavenIC,

Keeping yourself strong in the Lord and praying for him is the best thing you can do. Let the Lord do the rest. in him and through you.

Yes, pray for him and love him.  Sometimes Christian love will accomplish what words can't.

Hi everyone.

I need help with this verse.  If God hated Esau, is it correct to say that he could hate me? Especially if I have fallen back into a sin nature?  (actually, it's my husband, he keeps bringing up Esau)  I don't know how to help him anymore.

Thanks,
HIC

No. If you care about God, then you are a seeker and jesus promises that he who seeks will find. So no, God doesn't hate you.
