To those who relate to my pain, as well as my faith: You are free to wrestle with the line between forgiveness and reconciliation. God will direct your steps and give you wisdom and discernment in your situation. You are more important to God as whole human being than as one roll you play. You can’t save anyone from their consequences, but you have a lot of power over your own life and choices.
Thank you, Leslie Vernick. This has to be said: Divorce is certainly an acceptable option. (I highly recommend the webinar you can access at the top of her blog post.)
It’s time the Church stop twisting the Bible and using the name of God to enable abuse.
