Your Question:

How do I cope with this betrayal?

Answer:

Coping with betrayal is a difficult and painful process. I can only imagine the hurt and betrayal that you're going through. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with infidelity, and it's a wound that can be hard to heal. It's natural to feel angry, hurt, and resentful, but it's essential to remember that holding onto these emotions can prevent you from moving forward.

As I read through the passage, I'm reminded of the importance of forgiveness and humility. Forgiveness doesn't mean that the other person's actions were okay, but rather that we choose to release the hold they have on us. It's a process that takes time, patience, and effort. I pray that you'll be able to find the strength to forgive and release the pain, not for the other person's sake, but for yours. Holding onto resentment can be like living in a grave, as the passage so eloquently puts it.

As you navigate this difficult time, I encourage you to seek help and support. Talk to a trusted friend, a counselor, or a pastor (like me!) who can offer guidance and wisdom. It's essential to surround yourself with people who can help you process your emotions and provide a safe space to work through your feelings. Remember that you're not alone, and there is hope for healing and restoration.
