If you are interested in what is truly God's will for you, as opposed to what you want to do for yourself.. consider this:
You "stole" 3 years of marriage from your husband.
Do you know what is written about stealing, and what God told us to do to make up for when we steal?
This is the kind of arrogant, pompous crap that makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs when I read it.
I wish those of you who choose to beat people over the head with your Bible would take a little time and dwell on some of the OTHER scriptures that speak to YOUR behavior.
" Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Why do you look for the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? "
Matt 7:1-3
I'm reminded of the story of Jesus visiting a Pharisee. A woman who had lived a sinful life was humbled in the presence of Jesus and knelt at his feet, cleaning them with her tears. The Pharisee of course saw only a sinful woman touching a holy man and was offended. Jesus chided the Pharisee by pointing out that the Pharisee had not so much as offered water for Jesus to clean his feet, yet this woman had done so with her tears of repentance, even to the point of annointing him with her perfume.
There are always many who will point fingers, accuse, and rebuke. There are far fewer who are willing to humble themselves and be used to do God's work.
We should all ask ourselves just WHOSE work we are in the business of doing.
