Hardest Thing I've Done
I went to Promise Keepers in Indianapolis, knowing God was going to deal with me in an area I had held on to for over a year. It's tragic to admit, but I had been unfaithful to my wife. Sure enough, God told me to tell her. I was frightened by the thought, yet I knew I had to tell her.
When I arrived home, after trying to ignore the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I acted upon God's promise, and I told my wife. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but God has been faithful.
My wife was very hurt and is still going through the process of healing, but she is committed to our marriage. God truly forgives a repentant heart. God honored my honesty. I had to be anchored in him to survive the storm that followed, but if I wanted to reach the full potential that a godly marriage has to offer, I had to confess, both to God and to my wife.
