..... Even now
The whole pleasure I felt which was lust are all gone and lost, her best friend ran off and just like flash all the times we spent together ran through my mind like a snap.
My wife said in anger: am I not good enough for you? I've been through a whole lot for you, I've got your back since day one why can't you make me the only one? I know I am not perfect but I am worth it, do you even know what love is?
She stopped, sighed and hissed,
Looking at me naked from head to toe like Adam when he found Eve.
I was so ashamed of my self, my courage was now tensed, my muse was bemused, I saw my self as useless.. With tears in her eyes she threw a towel at me, hogged me and said "You are the flesh of my flesh, the bone of my bone, if I should cut you out today a part of me will be dead. I said I do not just to you but to your lies and missteps, I can see my reflection in your eyes, I even make mistakes. I Forgive You"
Those words where more hurting than a break up, it boko harramed my mind, how can someone forgive me when I've committed such an unscrupulous act, then my wife whispered in my ears and said
"Romans 5:8
But God showed his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Do you think you are perfect? .. Because your sin is different doesn't make you a saint, stop antagonising people because you think you are perfect.
