i was doing really good at church, we had vacation BIBLE school and attracted many kids, even my sister in law and her two girls came, along with a nephew. i even got a neighborhood child to come too, he said it was so special to him. GOD used me to plant spiritual seeds in these people, and i beleive all of them are the more blessed for it. every sunday me and my son attend church, my wife comes when she doesn't have to work on saturday. i was really feeling my purpose in GOD'S plan for me, then suddenly satan came and .......anyway..... my dear friend stephen barnes, who worked with me hand in hand during vacation BIBLE school passed away of a heart attack, he was only 40, same as me.... the my dear friend ulla, who has been a very dear friend of mine for a while now, who we had many fine conversations, said something that shocked my very soul...she is only 25 years old. she said to me, that she was in love with me, now she knows that i am married and love my wife so much. i told her that it wasn't right, she agreed but still says that someday we could be a couple. i am afraid that i am going to have to ask her to, end our friendship, which i cherish very much....but i will never commit adultry..... the harder i try to get closer to GOD, the more satan comes closer too. but GOD is more stronger. i pray every minute that i can, it has really helped bless me.

Yep, the last thing satan wants is for us to be close to God, after all God gives us salvation!
You are doing the right thing, obviously, or satan wouldn't feel threatened. Also, if you truly want to end your friendship with this woman, you should tell your wife, otherwise, temptation just might take a hold of you. |

you must be doing a very good job there.explain to your helper about spiritual persuasion of evil and explain yourself and your job.i think she needs help but good help from elsewhere.all of us get tempted and bombarded with thoughts.very brave of you to post this and all of us learn from these things.

at church today, she sat next to us...after the service i spoke to our pastor. he said he would have a long talk with her ..i haven't spoken to her since church was over. she is very valuable to our church, but she can find a single church guy to treat her right. it's always best to speak to a church elder about things of this nature. thanks to you both for the advice.

Maybe not as valuble as you give her credit for.
She is living a lie. Making a fool of your wife by sitting next to the 2 of you in church, as well~ Actually she is making a fool of herself; she has no right to fall in love with a married man, much less TELL him! There is only one reason she would admit her love for you and that is in hopes of leading you astray. I think you did the right thing in telling an Elder! Bless you and your marriage! |

The young lady made a mistake and she has feelings too .. Rather in the midst of trouble council is good that solutions mean managing to take care, rather the lady's sin is known in the midst of spiritual recreation that she may feel dirty afterwards but rather inappropriate was she, that she disrespected the wife of a man but rather you should be ok for the long enduring relationship in terms of fidelity on this occasion .. The best way to deal with situations are win win solutions that in good interest is such solution, that anybody makes such critical mistakes that are too personal to discuss with another person, rather the pastor in right mind shall talk therapy sessions for her forgiveness to her repentance in the name of Christ ..
I am glad for the responsibility in you awc1967 to stand up for the valid in time's mention to walk closely with God .. It is firmness we are after, knowing how to answer to life in the true approvals .. This action of good in your decision shall strengthen you, awc1967 in being of fidelity not only to your wife but to The Most High .. It is well to keep interested in the favorable to take it all the way for confident belonging well significant lives .. Yours truly, Jesse

she has talked with my wife and i backed out of the way, both of them have agred to deal with it in a nice way. we will no longer be in the same youth group, i am 40, and she is 25, but our pastor prayed with her and i think it's ok now. i felt a little shy about bringing this on the forum, but i was hoping for a nice solution, and i got that here, thanks to all of you for not ...well, being judgemental of me. she and i won't be working as close as we used to but, she is such a great artist, she does great posters for the church. behold the power of prayer, it works more than anything else. me and my wife will celebrate 12 years of marriage on sept. 12th...blissfull at times, but spiritual always.

you may wonder how can my first and second wife get along so well, they are the same person, lol. we met in november 1993, and we dated for 7 months. then in june 1994, we went to the justice of the peace and got married, but we did it too fast. sadly in august 1994, 2 months later, her families inner bickering, put a wedge in between us, it was like living in a boxing ring, she and i went into the ringer. after 2 months of living with her family, we seperated, but it was not really my idea, or actually hers. we got an annullment that month, and went on our ways, but she never left my heart. 10 months later, she ran into a friend of mine, they talked a while, then she called me up. we started re dating the next week and 3 months later got married in a church, with her family and mine attending. well, that's been 12 years and the love grows on. GOD knew that we rushed into it the first time, but through his mercy, gave us another chance. we went 10 months without any contact at all, but i never quit loving her, or she me. miracles are still happening today.

What a wonderful love story!
Your wife deserves alot of credit in this situation too. It is very hard knowing another woman is in love with your husband. May God always bless your marriage. |
