Marriage Under Pressure

To Err Is To Human, To Forgive Divine (part 3)

If ikaw ang may nagawang fault to that adulterous guy; Magtotodo-sorry ka para lang para mapatawad ka niya, para lang bumalik siya sa iyo. At sasabihin gagawin mo ang lahat na gusto niya (adulterous guy) even mas makakadagdag ang mga gagawing mong mga ito sa pagkakasala mo sa Diyos. Tama ba ito? Hindi bat ang tama at nararapat mong gawin ay sa Diyos ka humingi ng todo ng sorry at gumawa ng paraan na hindi na magkasala muli? Hindi bat dapat mag-pasalamat ka pa nga sa Diyos dahil gumawa siya ng paraan para makawala kana sa pagkakasala mo kapag lumayo sa iyo ang adulterous guy na ito (1 Corinthians 10:13)? Come to your senses!

But I will not stop praying for you and the forgiveness of your sin. (1 Thessalonians 5:17) I will keep asking God to forgive you. I will also pray that you will learn to love the Lord truly and unconditionally. And that you will faithfully return into His arms and obey Him. I am doing this because I love you and I want you to be saved before it is too late. ("If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."--John 15:7) I know mas medaling sumunod sa tukso kaysa sa utos ng Diyos. Pero kung magtitiwala ka lang sa Panginoong Jesus na kaya ka niyang mabago, magagawa mo ito. Call upon Him. ("For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."--Romans 10:13) Isipin mona para sa future ito ng anak natin. Your parents and I are here to support you. God is patient and merciful. Hinihintay ka namin. For God says, "In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you." (2 Corinthians 6:2)

Lahat naman ng tao nagkakasala. ("For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."--Romans 3:23 / 1 John 1:8) But if we confess our sins, the Lord is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) If si Lord na God is faithful sa atin at mahal na mahal tayo bakit tayo na nilikha niya lang ay hindi magawa sa kanya? ("The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning."--Lamentations 3:22-23). You would say "Tao lang ako. Saka ganito na talaga ako!" But for how long kang ganyan? Hintayin mo pa bang maging malala ang situation? Hintayin mo pa bang dumating ang galit ng Diyos? Hintayin mo pa bang magsisi ka muna bago ka magbago? Hintayin mo pa ba ang epekto nito sa anak mo bago ka matauhan? If ibang tao na may katumbas or mas higit pa na kasalanan sa iyo ay nagawa paring magbago, ikaw pa kaya? Mahirap sa mahirap, pero walang impossible kay God, remember? Magtiwala ka lang. Kaya niyang maayos ang puso mo, ang pamilya natin, ang mga sugat at masasamang nangyari sa atin. Have a little faith. Wala kang pagsisihan kapag si Lord ang nag-handle ng problem natin. Trust the Lord. Kaya mo yan. ("The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows (recognizes, has knowledge of, and understands) those who take refuge and trust in Him."--Nahum 1:7)

Pero hindi sapat na mag-sorry ka lang kay Lord, dapat panindigan mo ang pagbabago. If nag-sorry ka nga pero hindi mo naman tinigil ang pagkakasala mo (adultery), its still useless. Dahil hindi sincere and tunay ang paghingi mo ng tawad. You should remove the old clothes and wear new ones, which means "To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24). For Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

Now back to the main argument:

You would say "Hindi na magbabago ang puso ko. At hindi kontrolado ng Diyos ang puso ko!"

God may not allow Himself to control your heart, but He has the power to cleanse it from the wickedness of the Devil whom was now manipulating your heart. Yes, the Devil is maneuvering you from the inside. You just don't fully realize it yet, because you were blinded and out of your senses (Ephesians 4:18). For the Bible said "He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself." (Proverbs 6:32)

So would you still allow the Devil to manipulate your heart, now that you realize the truth that God has revealed to you? Would you still continue your nonsense ways and destroy yourself? If you love yourself, you would never allow the Devil to destroy you. If you love your child, you would never allow his mother to be lost. If you really love God, you will call for Him to cleanse your heart. ("Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."-- Psalm 51:10)
