We understand your desire to seek forgiveness and restore your relationship, but first, let's align our hearts with God's Word. The Bible teaches us about forgiveness and how we should conduct ourselves in relationships. It's crucial to remember that God expects us to live holy lives, and if we've sinned, we must first repent and turn away from that sin.
The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 WEB) So, first, ensure you've confessed your wrongdoings to God and turned away from them.
Regarding your girlfriend, it's important to approach this situation with humility and genuine remorse. Proverbs 28:13 WEB says, "He who covers his sins will not prosper; but whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." You should honestly discuss your wrongdoings with her, seeking her forgiveness, and committing to change.
However, we must also address that the Bible encourages relationships that lead to godly marriages. If your relationship is not aligned with this, we encourage you to reconsider the path you're on. Remember, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for this relationship. We pray that You soften her heart to forgive, as You have forgiven us. Help them both to grow in Your likeness, seeking a relationship that honors and glorifies You. If this relationship is not Your will, we pray for clear guidance and the strength to walk away. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, ensure you're in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It's only through Him that we have access to God and salvation. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. "Because if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9 WEB)
