When I Stop Loving You

01252014

Forgive me for I shall now stop loving you, I’m letting you go. You have already vowed your heart to someone else, and we could never be. Only when I stop loving you could I ever begin to love you MORE.

How do we know if we really love someone? Is it because of the feeling we have in our hearts? What if that feeling could only cause them pain in the end? Should we stop loving them? Our letter for today is about a love that could never seem to be.

God Doesn’t Wipe Away Memories!

God does not wipe away memories.
He wipes away bitterness;
He wipes it away with
unsurpassable joy!

The Path of Success

fliegerdenkmal-1377717-m

This is the truth,
that we don’t know what really lies ahead.
We don’t know what the next turn will bring us,
whether sadness or joy or purpose or hope.
Only God knows.
And if who know Him who knows,
we can believe.
We can start to trust.
That even when things go dark and hopeless,
all is not yet lost,
that things could still be better.
Things could still turn out for the best,
through the Hand of Him who knows
and who loves without measure nor end.

Whose Measure are You Using Today?

silhouette-472335-m

The world measures us with our accomplishments,
But God measures us with our efforts;
The world measures us with our reputation,
But God measures us with our character;
The world measures us with our riches,
But God measures us with our love.

Dear Joyce… From Beverly

Hi,
I have been struggling with this issue for three years and I need some advise. To some the answer will be a no brainer but for me it’s a struggle. I have been married for 12 years. During those 12 years my marriage has lost communication, intimacy, the desire to be near my spouse because of reasons I don’t want to get into. So I started in an affair 3 years ao with a single man who I have fallen in love with but he see other women as well. He has told me he loves me but this is the way he has always been and doesn’t want to commit to any women. We have tried numerous times to break off this affair but whenever he calls I run back to him. I have explained to him that it kills me inside knowing he “sleeps” with other women. So he suggested we do threesomes with other women. However, this is not what I believe in. I left broken and loss with both relationships I’m in. I have prayed to Jesus to intercede to God for me to take this affair from me but it doesn’t seem to b working. The pain is here in me because this man really doesn’t love me and it hurts knowing no matter how much I love him or what I do for him his before will never change. Please help me to put this in focus.

RESPONSE FROM JOYCE

Hello Beverly,

Thank you for your trust, for allowing us to hear you and for giving us the opportunity to talk to you. There are so many things I wanted to tell you that I think our time and space in here wouldn’t be enough. I will however try my best to give you some words that could help alleviate your pain. First of all, problems like these are not no-brainers, they only seem easy for people who do not understand our real struggles, and our hurts. You may have said it that way because you may have seen the solution they would have given you, though knowing such a solution doesn’t make the process any easier or less painful. I have several points I want to tell you:
