Urge to write

Have you ever just had the urge to write? It isn't because you think you should because you haven't been updating, but rather, it is actually just a random urge for me today. I was sitting outside in my backyard trying to catch up on some reading for class. I had gotten a chair out and set it up. I brought along a few other items just in case I needed them. Also, one of the reasons why I went to sit outside was so that a cat, not really our cat though, could come and lay in my lap as I read.

As I went on reading it felt like God spoke to my heart about something. That cat was not mine. I didn't own it, but I was sitting there with it lying in my lap as I read my book. I began to feel guilty and somehow this got linked to marriage. Ok, yeah, being married to a cat is not my thing... no, definitely not that kind of stuff. I mean like linked to the idea of a marriage between a husband and his wife. Just like that cat was not mine and yet it was sitting in my lap, if there is someone else in our lives other than our wives, they aren't ours to hold. We don't have any right to be with them. They don't belong to us (wife belonging to husband and husband belonging to wife). We have absolutely no right to be there with them.

How all this got related to a cat I am not sure, but it made me think. Marriage is serious business. You give yourself to one person for life and if you are with someone else in the midst of that then it's wrong. Fidelity is important. And God gives grace to us for those who have made mistakes. I don't know why I am writing this, but, if you are out there and you are in a relationship with someone that is not your wife and you are already married to someone then i want you to know that it isn't right. But God can forgive you. Don't let your present activity in it deter you from getting right with God. Go back to God, go back to your first wife, go back to the wife of your youth. Let her know that you're sorry and that you love her with all of your heart. She is the one to whom your affection is due.
