Good Morning! John 8:32 Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Today I want to share something with you all and also ask your opinion. But one thing I have learned in my Recovery is it is a program of honesty. And here of late its not that I haven't been honest, but I haven't shared the whole story with you. But here in the last couple of days I have been sharing with some people including my Pastor what is going on in my life. And you know what? Instead of feeling like I am going to Hell, I feel relieved. Well I told you all about this woman I have met. Well we have been dating for a few months now, but were kind of keeping it under our hats so to speak because she was still married, but separated! Because I was worried about what all of you would say. See that has always been one of my Character Defects, always worrying what others think instead of doing whats right in my heart. Well to make a long story short, her husband passed away a couple of weeks ago. So now I want to share this. We are going to get Married. I asked her and she said YES! But now came the big dilemma. She was not living with her husband at the time and where she was living was only temporary until she found a place. So to get to the point, I have moved her and her 13 yr old son in with me. Because Financially it just makes sense for both of us. And believe me we are going to get married soon. But this raises the question in my mind. Am I going to Hell for this. Should I stop sending these texts everyday cause I am a man caught up in a sin. In John 8:7 Jesus tells us, "If anyone of you is without sin let him be the first one to cast the first stone. So today I ask you for your thoughts and your opinions on this matter, because I value them. They will not change the fact that I am a sinner, but I am a Happy sinner in Love. And I do want to share that I feel so much better bringing this all out in the light. Because in 1st John 1:7-9 John tells us, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9.If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. And I want to add Vs 10 in there. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. So there I have claimed my sin to God, to Jesus, and to you. So if you no longer want to receive these texts because I have shared this thing I have done, I understand. Just text me and I will take you off the list. But I do want to say this, I feel so much better getting this out in the open. And I want to share, if there is any sin in your life you are trying to keep under the radar or keep from people it only makes it worse. And Satan uses that sin to cause more sin. You cannot hide anything from God. And its not easy to hide it from people either. So sometimes, No all the time! It is better to tell the truth, cause the truth will set you free. HABD!
