Thank you for showing me who I was in the article "I Loved a Girl" from the July/August 2017 issue. It's just what I was.
On line 15 it says, "'You shall not commit adultery,' does not apply in my case." Galatians 5:19 tells just how wrong as a young man I was. Matthew 5:28, "Jesus said that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." I could go on and on, but I won't. This article touched my heart in a way no one will ever know. If I'd learned this 45 years ago, I'd still be married to my first wife.
Five years ago I couldn't understand this. Sex (outside of marriage) is sin, but it is also God's plan for us in marriage.
I don't know how I lived so long without the Lord. I am pretty much at peace with my life now. I still have problems and I always will, but know I have Helper to guide me.
W.A.
