MLC W Dates, Part 9

[Rita]

Hi, Wet -- I haven't been going onto these forums for a long time, as I had said, but for some reason the other day I was thinking of you and wondering how things were going, I always include you and your wife in my prayers. I read through a few of your posts, and saw some of the tough love responses you got that may have stung your heart. I have been thinking about it ever since and just want to encourage you because I know you do pray, that you look for ways not just to GAL but to change the way you think about this whole thing, to subdue your will and way towards God's will and Way. You can only be a light in this darkness we are all going through, but it is going to require some very difficult changes as far as not being tempted to influence her behavior or to take any actions to manipulate her behavior. I have spent two years on this process and am just starting to understand how to do it (with the help of constant prayer). I read a devotional today that covers this idea exactly. Here is a link to it -- it's the one for today, called, "What, Me Love My Spouse Now?" It's very religious so I don't think I am supposed to post it here, but I hope you have a chance to read it.



I try not to visit these forums as I find I need to look only to God for help, I get often discouraged from that very difficult path actually here, but I wanted to write to you because I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and praying for you and your wife. I may not see your reply for a long while if you do reply.
