Do Not Enter!!

Dear Free
 I am 40-year-old Christian female. I have been saved for over 10 years, and I love the Lord with all my heart. I am very active in my church, and I am on the missionary board, the Pastor’s Aide, the Intercessory Prayer Team. In fact, my pastor has recognized the call on my life to be an Evangelist.  As a result,  I am up for ordination by the end of the year. With all that said, I have a major confession to make. I am attracted to a very nice man. He is intelligent, he is kind, and he is very, very, very handsome. We have gone out a couple of times, and I tell you, he is an awesome conversationalist.  I have not dated in over 2 years, mainly by choice. Since going out with him, I am ready to get back into the dating game, and I want to get back into it with him. I have invited him over my house, which he has accepted. This will take place in two weeks. I am not sure at that time; if we will take our friendship to the next level, hint hint. Now, I guess you are wondering what is so major about my confession?  Well, here it is, my Mr. Oh So Right, is one of the Evangelist’s husband. Yes, I said it. I know that it is wrong. I am writing you not to be lectured, scolded, or judged. Why? Because like I said earlier, I love the Lord with all my heart.  I just want to get it off my chest; in addition, the Bible tells us to confess our faults one to another (James 5:16). Therefore, I am confessing this to you.

Dear Do Not Enter: 
     You have said more than a mouth full of confession. Yet, I am happy that you chose me to confess your faults. I somehow find it safe to say that there appears to be some suppressed and possibility repressed underlying issues concerning relationships in your past. However, only a therapist who can determine that. Nevertheless, I agree with what you said about not wanting to be lectured, scolded, or judged. I am a firm believer that it is not my job to do either of the three. It is the Word of God’s job. You see God’s Word is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).The Word gives us everything that we need which pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).  I could say so many, many, many things to you, but you spoke volumes when you confessed that you know it is WRONG!!!! Yes, you are right James 5:16 (NIV) says “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” not only will I be praying for you, but all the prayer warriors on the prayer line. In closing, I will remind you of this as I also remind myself and others that “Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant (Galatians 6:7 NLT). Therefore, plant good seeds and run from seeds that may harvest death.  Remember, He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD (Proverbs 18:22 NKJV). I think Mr. Do Not Enter found his good thing with his present wife; now let the Lord lead a man to find you, Ms. Good Thang. Keep in touch; I care.    
 Blessings Free
