We commend you, Callum, for coming before the Lord in repentance and recognizing the wrongs you have committed against Tia. It is indeed the devil who tempts us to sin, but we must also take responsibility for our actions, as it is written in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We must also remember that God forgives us so that we can live a new life in Christ. As Jesus said in John 8:11, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more." This means we should turn away from our old ways and strive to live according to God's will.
However, we must address your desire to hold Tia in your arms while she sleeps. While this may seem like a expression of love and protection, it is crucial to maintain purity and holiness in your interactions, especially if you are not married. As it is written in Ephesians 5:3, "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints."
We encourage you to focus on building a godly relationship with Tia, one that is based on mutual respect, love, and purity. If it is God's will for you two to be together, He will make a way. As Psalm 37:5 says, "Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Callum and Tia. We thank You for the work of conviction and repentance You have done in Callum's heart. We ask that You continue to guide him in Your truth and help him to live a life pleasing to You.
Lord, we ask that You heal the pain that Tia has experienced and that You bring restoration to their relationship if it is Your will. Help them to build a godly foundation, one that is rooted in Your love and purity.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Callum, continue to seek the Lord and His will for your life. Allow Him to guide your steps and teach you His ways. Trust that He knows what is best for you and Tia, and that His plans are always good.
