If any of you have read my testimony one of my greatest struggles growing up was with lust and pride. It's something that God has DEFINITELY been working on in my heart, but about a week ago, I got a grim reminder that I am not perfect.
Over the past few months, I have felt myself becoming close with someone, and friends have been somewhat "cheering me on". Last week, one of those people, another girl I've been friends with for a few years, texted me asking "So how are you and __________ doing?!" I talked to her about the situation, and she kept on saying she was excited for me.
However, things started taking a weird turn, and she then attempted to try to seduce me via texting... Regrettably, I feel into that trap. I slipped, and afterwards, I felt completely horrible, because I felt that I had betrayed the woman I cared so much about. I messaged her immediately, but she was asleep. When she woke up, I confessed to her, and she forgave me.
It was a relief that she forgave me, but... it still hurts, knowing that, I slipped up. I made a mistake, and I caused damage. I know I'm forgiven, but it's tough to forgive yourself...
It hurts, but I guess one of the morals of the story is that, you need to keep your heart guarded, and that cheating begins in the heart
