I realized that the worry of infidelity is never ending. Your partner can cheat on you when you are dating. Fancy some other girl whom he just met. Immediately click it off and wonder why there is no more spark and why everything becomes so mundane between he and I. And there he goes off with another. Your partner can cheat on you after engagement. I think this is the worst. When all dreams are going to come true, you find out he fancy someone else and perhaps, loved you once but not anymore. Your partner can cheat on you after tying the knot and when you are married. Needless to say more. It happens all around us now. And so, it's a never-ending one. From the time you entrust your heart to someone human, you subject yourself to a risk of it. If it comes, there's really nothing for you to do because it reveals the man's heart--unfaithful heart. So then, perhaps, there's no need to worry. No need to constantly think about it. No need to occupy your mind with it and think of different scenarios. If it comes, then there's only one ending. If it comes, it's a loss yet not a loss. A loss of a friendship, of time spent, energy used, money spent, memories created. Yet not a loss cos this guy isn't worth your friendship, time, energy, money and love anymore. He doesn't deserve it. And so, perhaps, this picture would fit everything. When there's loss and pain and confusion, God is still intervening and says "He's not yours to keep and to hold. He belongs to someone else. And someone else belongs to you." People call this picture "Sovereignty of God", I call it "Acknowledging and submitting to God through pain". --------------------------------- |
