Pickles, Anything could happen to me and I would turn to God and God would see me through. But Spiritual Battles against thing's like Jezebels are POWERFULL. They take over everything you do. They drain you of spirituality and diminish all of your strengths and gifts.
And untill the past year I had never known anything about this, honestly. It takes a lot out of you. Mind you, it's a lesson learnt. Good training.
I have forgiven. But I had to leave.
I understand, its been almost five years for me, and I cannot shut this person out of my life.
Circomstances are that where, the person will always be in my life.
It is one of the hardest trials Ive ever faced , and only in Jesus have I known peace.
Even though this person continues in their actions and maniplulations.
This has broken my heart in ways I never new possible, and it continues still.
I believed that I had every right to avoid and have nothing to do with this person, as any word or action would be manipulated and used to harm me and my family.
But , this lesson in the love and forgivness of Jesus has been the greatest blessing and gift in Jesus.
I agree, one sometimes must leave one like this, I have with another in the past.
But the situation nows till is and I cannot walk away.
I only know that in this, Jesus has revieled the love of His sacrifice, His perfect love through this
How great is His forgivness.
I believe that it is in faith this love, that will sustain all in the last days, because anything else will fail.
It is a blessin you were able to walk away, but Jesus's love is as great for you, as for the other person.
It was hard for me to see this at first, but I praise Jesus for showing this, as it removes all the filth and injury done by this kind of person.
It is in learning to love the least, that one knows how great is the love of Jesus.
I sorry for what you have had to go through, the sorrow and missery are beyond mesure and one never feels they can trust any again.
But it is in the love of Jesus for the person, that one recieves the forgivness, streangth and confidence of Jesus to love all as He loves us.
Hugs and God bless.
