This is one of the reasons I've asked you to stick to one thread. Remember the things we talked about in your other thread......those things about God, family, suffering, pride, etc.? You never once mentioned the fact you were not M to this woman. Don't you think THAT would matter to God? Forget pride, man.....you have lived in adultry all these years and had two children out of wedlock. What kind of father has two children and never M their mother? Yeah, maybe God is going to allow you to hurt for a time, IDK. It's not God's fault that you adults did not honor His laws nor man's law. On second thought, you did have a lot of pride!
The tragic thing is the little kids who hurt from all the screw-ups of their parents.
I'm not preaching at you, but I'm trying to make you understand that you have not been honest with us and you haven't been honest with God. Do your children think they were born to parents who were M? Maybe you have not been honest with them, either. These are some issues you need to get straighten out before you can expect very much positive action in your life. God can't continue to bless someone who dishonors His ways b/c that would compromise His integrity.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
