I am really struggling guys. My deilema in a nut shell, I am in love with a man who has never treated me right, cheated, lied, and stole from me and is with another woman now. We are broken up but I am torn apart. He even told me she is what he wants but I cant get mad, I cant forget his love, I cant seem to stop thinking about him.. It has been 2mos since our last break up, but had a 3 day reconcile that was so heavenly, but then he ran when this other woman called and left me again...

What are some bible verses I can read that will calm me down, get over him ect..

Thanks guys..

Matthew 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.


This applies to your situation. Do not waste your time on evil. Do not waste your energy on evil. There is no reason to love this man. What is your love based on if he does not love you back? You say you can't forget his love, if he has never treated you good then what love was there?

I also had a situation where a woman lied to me, stole from me, and pretended to care about me for years. Now she is married to someone else. I wasted 3 years on her. I cast many pearls alright. Its much better to move on. Erase certain people from your life. Pretend they don't exist. (Easier said than done, I know, but it must be done)

Go find someone who actually does love you. Love has to be mutual, if it is one sided, its a waste of time.

Thanks! Good point about wasting time on a one sided love.

What I mean is he did love me and treat me right 50% of the time.. His love was very passionate, sweet and deep when I felt it so that is what I clinged too. His words were perfect as well, then w/out notice he would change and run ect... No loyalty, I prayed for him still do.. He is sick and is on meds but change is not easy for him.. I honestly think he wanted to be good and be w/me, but something inside was stronger and deep rooted and his love for me was not as strong as mine was for him..

I keep trying, every minute I try.. Keep praying and sending me verses, they definatly help me!!

you should read corinthians 13....
that tells you what love is...
what you guys had was not love...

believe God for his best... man God knows what you need and what will bring you joy... you should never have to settle for anything when your a child of God... if you delight yourself in the Lord i promise he'll bring you someone who will show you what love is suppose to be like...
if hes lies cheats steals and all that and you still THINK he makes you happy... omg just wait and see what God can do...
i pray that God would heal your heart and your mind from every wrong preception of love that that man has left you with and i pray the God would fufill all the desires of your heart...

i love you with love of Christ

Storm, my prayer for you is that you will be rooted and grounded in love and know the love of Christ that surpasses mere knowledge without experience, what is the height and width and length and depth of it that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God! (See Ephesians 3:17-19 Amplified version).

I want for you to really get rooted in HIS love for you, because when you really understand the nature of how God loves you--so perfectly, tenderly, passionately, and intensely, you will be so "spoiled" in the right way, you will not want to settle for a counterfeit love that is not what He intends for you. I encourage you to read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. This describes the nature of true love and the love that God has towards you. You are His beloved daughter! The one He has for you will love you the way Christ loved the church, being willing to lay down His life for her good. (See Ephesians 5:25-30) Any earthly romantic love is meant to express the love He has for us, His church. Don't settle for less!

I have a typed list of Love Scriptures I compiled for myself because I've really needed this rootedness in His love myself. If you would like me to email it to you, send a message to my inbox, okay? Bless you! Love you like a sister and will pray.

Wow, thanks guys! Really helps me here, read the verses, pondered on them and prayed... I know in my heart there was some love there, just not enough on his end and he is really struggling w/his own demons that he cant seem to break thru to the man he did say he wanted to be... I have to move on, I know this it is just so hard especially when I gave him my true heart. Hard to get it back when u want someone in your life... But w/this site and help of my church I am slowing getting thru and picking up the pieces..

Thank u, anymore suggestions or comments bring em on!
