Phil, making amends with people who harmed you mentally, physically or emotionally (albeit unintentionally) is forgiveness. It is required, yes. But you haven't addressed the demons that have been with you ever since until you lay them down and are raised up above them. It takes God to make those kinds of changes in a person. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed...

Think broader than this:

Quote:
In the past someone said in a prayer that prayed I wish you to help Phil find the man you intend him to be.

What you are saying I have to look for the root. Unless of course you are talking in circles.

If I become the man he intends me to be then she might come back?

So which is it Amy?


I am not talking in circles.

Change Phil.
Make Phil happy and healthy.
Do it because your heart first wants whatever God has in store for you.

Leave your wife to God.

If you set out on this path just to win her back you will have a very difficult time.

Seek Him.

Not her.

This really is simple.

WE make it hard.
