This is my testimony of God’s saving grace.
I was
CHEATED
ABUSED
USED
And was taken for granted ...
I know, it is a typical love problem or story that you might have heard from so many people.
I dated this guy way back, September of 2017. Childhood crush turned into lover.
What a fulfilment, diba?
Since then, I prayed na for my future husband to be. The one I could be with and makauban pud mag serve kay Lord.
And from the start of that relationship,
I struggled a lot.
The crush I was admiring in my childhood days was different from the man I am dating now.
Different in many aspects.
He has a lot of failed relationships and most of it, are sexually inclined,
And a lot of emotional baggage in him.
Revenge
Disappointments
Substance abuse
And he almost died due to having an affair with the wife of his boss.
But all of these kay gidawat nako.
Compassion?
In a wrong way.
I didn't take the warnings seriously.
I thought,
"Luoy siya kaya kailangan nako siya dalahon sa simbahan …" "I have to share God’s word and introduce him to the Savior."
True enough, gibuhat nako.
I open it up to my leader.
Gi advisan nasad ko na,
"Do the right thing that will glorify the Lord."
To weigh things up.
Kay if tungod ani na relationship ma compromise nako ang akong relationship kay Lord, it needs to stop.
Mao jud ang gina ingon na,
"The world could pull you stronger"
labi na if emotion ang pilion.
As much as I want him to be closer kay Lord, ako ang naging close sa akong uyab and ended up compromising. Believe me, tinuod jud ang giingon na dili nato kaya bag-ohon ang tao.
It is only through God.
Submission in Him alone.
Surrendering ourselves unto Him.
I prayed to God for a sign and he has given me, multiple times, but still chose to ignore them. I’m so attached to my idols that it became a stronghold for me.
I can't let go … and let …God.
We parted ways last 2018, due to a third party issue. And I promised not to take him back.
But karupokan to the highest level kicked in.
He said "sorry… " and begged for a "second chance…"
But as a Christian, it should not be in our vocabulary because Satan can use it to trap us.
Last May 26, 2020, God intervened.
The day I found out that he had gone back to his old way of living. Naa syay ka live in since nag start ang lockdown sa Davao. Kauban niya sa boarding house.
I thank God for revealing it to me at the right time.
It made a way out.
It hurts.
So much.
As in.
The more I ask God why, the more I realized, I have sinned and hurt God. I feel so guilty of my actions.
The love and attention I gave to that person was the love and attention God wanted from me. And I was so blinded by my feelings for him. I forgive him over and over again.. but I haven’t asked God how He feels about it.
"Let this be a glaring sign for all of us who are in a relationship that does not honor God. Cheated, betrayed, those are such a few results of it. "
This is what I've learned, believe in God’s intervention without question. Isaiah chapter 44 is a wake up call that if we are not obedient to the Holy Spirit and continue to feed our fleshly desires, it will eventually put us into destruction.
Let this be a glaring sign for all of us who are in a relationship that does not honor God. Cheated, betrayed, those are such a few results of it.
You know what God wants you to do, now watch what he does when you are OBEDIENT.
No one knows how much I suffered these days, but I know, God knew.
His faithfulness and love can make all things new. I trust Him that in His perfect timing, He will return a double portion of what the enemy has taken from me.
The generational curse ends in this moment. Don’t let the enemy take a stronghold in your life again.
Daniel 9:4-5
“Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
Verse 14,
"The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does.
The love of God for us even though dili siya gusto na masakitan ta, if that is the only way na mubalik ta sa iyaha, He will not hesitate to do it to win us back.
His grace is sufficient everyday.
Thank you Lord.
