This post really makes us as Christians think and hopefully analyse hearts to see if we are for real.

Anyone who brews in hatred or offence is a bad representation of who Jesus is. Period.

Listen, I am well aware that there are women who have been forced into pornography, and made to engage in these acts illegally, etc. But you see this is an almost negligible point. The fact is, if you were stupid enough to want to do pornography then you deserve all the “mistreatment” you got. Every single act of “cruelty” is justly afforded to you, for you were naive and foolish even considering that industry. Don’t say to me: “But I needed the money”, for even hitmen and credit-card criminals “need the money”. If you’re going to venture into anything, be prepared and take responsibility, for the consequences– regardless of your reasons!
If you are a woman who has indeed been wronged and “raped” into such an industry, I truly am sorry and hope justice finds the purportrators. As for the rest of you, who went into the industry and are now complaining, you can go cry elsewhere…  

I was molested by my brother and brother in law. My father abandoned us for another woman when I was 13. I was raped at 17. I was raised in a “Christian home” but the message be talked was not being “walked.” I gave myself away to a man who wasn’t “mine” and regretted it knowing that wasn’t God’s plan for me. I remained pure until I married at 21. Then spent 17 years with a man who was unfaithful in every way. He’s now serving a 75 year sentence in prison for 3 felonies against a minor.

I finally opened myself up to dating again and went out with a man on our worship team. He knew God’s Word, could quote scripture all day, sang praises to God every Sunday … What a dream right? By the fourth date I was so tired of pulling his hands off me I broke up with him.

Is this really all there is I thought? Is every man only after one thing? Am I not capable of having a man love me like Jesus does? I carried this with me to the next date … He had all the right words, did all the right things, had a dark past but never missed the opportunity to share his testimony how God saved him from the gutter 6 years ago and made him a new creation! I wasn’t ready for marriage so quickly but he gave me an ultimatum and told me not to be double minded. He told me he KNEW he was the one God appointed to father my son, to love me, and to serve in ministry together. I failed to believer that God was enough… My ex went to prison, my child support and alimony stopped, I ha just gotten laid off due to the economy and my fiancé told me I couldn’t survive on my own, it’s now or never. I let God down and took the plunge. Three months later my husband has kicked my sin and I out and has threatened annulment or divorce. No biblical grounds, just that he’s unhappy and he’s NOT going to spend the rest of his life miserable. Since then he’s assassinated my character with lies that not even my ex could imagine.

So where am I now? I moved back to my home town, God provided a great place for us to live, a job that I couldn’t have even imagined, we’re back in fellowship with our home church, Awanas, and I’m surrounded by believers who have wrapped their arms around me and are praying for my husband.

I share this in hopes that someone will learn from my mistake. God IS enough. I AM a daughter of the King and deserve to be treated as so, He IS meeting ALL of my needs above and beyond what I could imagine!

No matter what your circumstances, trust GOD and God alone. Love like he loves you, expect to be treated with respect, and keep HIS ways! Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. The Word of Gid is alive, real, true and able to keep you on the narrow path!

Pray for my husband and I. I’m headed out today for a meeting with our Pastor tomorrow. I’m under the authority of the church and we’ll go through Matthew 18 tomorrow. Pray that God will do a work and bring conviction. We are not called to live happy lives, we’re called to give up our lives to save them! Pray I continue to seek God’s will and not my own!

Thanks!
