Taking back the Cheater!
Forgiving the Cheater!
John 8:3-7
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
I use to be a cheater when I was younger. Then after I lost the guy i changed my life for I stopped cheating because the love i had for him and the pain i caused that it hurt him so much because I use to cheat well i wanted to stop. Yet then since then ive been cheated on by everyman been in a relationship with. I cut off all my hair because of the trama of walking in on the act. Bitter and angry. Why can't they just be faithful. Jesus i should just stone them. And thats what ive been doing. Constantly bring up the issue over and over again because i havent forgiven. You cheated on me ( stone # 1). We aren't together because your not faithful( stone #2) Your a dog (stone #3). As I keep throwing stones the situation doesnt change. Forgiveness never comes. Yet what does it help to keep throwing stones? Jesus forgave me for my sins. I have faults just like the next person and there are tons of things i have done that people can keep saying about me. Tons of stones they can throw. So i know it may hurt but forgive the cheater!
Putting Down My Stones!
John 8:8-9
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Im putting down my stones. I am no better than anyone else. I have sinned and fallen short off the glory of God. There is no one in this world who can feel better than anyone else i dont care HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE YOUR A SINNER!! JUST LIKE I AM! We have all sinned. We have all made mistakes. There is no one out here better then another. And though it can be so hard sometimes not to keep throwing stones at people because they hurt me. I am going to try to make a commitment today to stop throwing stones at those who once mad offense towards me. And when i get the urge to start thinking about ways i have hurt people or sinned against other and God. Then put down my stone and walk away!
Taking Back the Cheater!
John 8:10-11
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
This is so good! At this point Jesus is saying No one can be mad at you but me. Yet i am choosing to not be mad at you and to forgive you. Think about Hoseas wife Gomer the Harlot. God told him to go love her again. HOSEA IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD BE MAD AT GOMER. Hosea is the only one who had the choice to take back his wife. No one else. He choose to love her, he choose not to condemn her. Don't cheat anymore! Hosea told gomer I will be for you and you will before me. We will love each other and im taking you back!!
You took them back?
Luke 15:25-32 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found
Man people will always have something to say. Do you know what he/she did to you? Do you know how he/she hurt you. You should have never took them back. See it doesnt matter what people think about what your doing. The prodigals father wasnt worried about other opinions he never let their opinions waver his choice to take back his son. You may be in a rocky relationship and God wants you to take them back, you may have a wild teen and God wants you to take them back, you may have been with someone who cheated but God wants you to take them back, you may even be divorced. No matter what people say it is your choice to choose to love someone despite there faults. The father loved his son despite his and no one opinion was going to change that! Yes i did take him back and he was happy to have his son back!
