| I made a prayer request a few months ago regarding my relationship with a woman who I have grown to like a lot. I have been dealing with the fact that she has an STD (not HIV) and with some of her past sexual immoralities. I believe over time, God has brought me to be more at ease with these issues. However, ironically, I feel as though God is telling me that my purpose with her is over, i.e. she and I should not pursue a long-term relationship. I feel as though God brought us into each other lives for a season - so I could learn to love unconditionally and so that she could deal with some past hurts. After months of hardships, we now find ourselves separating. I am torn spiritually b/c I stuck through the hardships and issues by praying, I grew fond of her, and now it seems as though all of that effort was to no avail? I want to be at peace with this situation, and I don't want to feel guilty about the break-up. I tried to do the Christ-like thing with regard to her past and her current condition (I was not perfect), but I tried with all my spiritual might! I'm hurting b/c I'm wondering why did I grow fond of her only to have to separate? Was that God's perfect will? If so, why does it hurt so badly. Please pray that God will grant me peace, forgiveness, joy, and a sense of understanding from this situation. Also, I pray that God will guide her and comfort her as well. Thank-you. |
