But my story is different. 26 years ago, I was the OM. I've disrupted families, took waht wasn't mine, rebelled against God, wasn't a better influence on the woman who became my W, dishonored my mother & father, and generally brought pain to everyone whose life I touched in this.. I fell like the scum of the earth. Whatever happens to me is only fitting punishment, and is a lot less than what I truly deserve.
I know that God is a forgiving God. We all have sinned, are sinners, and I believe he does want us to be happy. If you've asked God for forgiveness, you know you already have that. Nobody here including you deserves this to happen. I don't believe God has done this as punishment for you. In my case, I have become a much stronger person, stronger in my faith, and have made many friends, and it's been a huge learning experience for me. I think God has made me a better person through this, not to punish me but because this was the best for me.
I believe you can take this experience and make yourself a better person. I believe God wants you to do that, and not wallow in guilt over the past. I consider mistakes "learning experiences" and maybe you should do that also? Karen
