Hi everyone. First post here.
I have been a Christian my whole life. I have not always followed my faith, but it has always been there.
In 2009, after 24 years of marriage, I divorced my wife and pursued another woman. I married that other woman. 4 years later, we divorced. 2 years later, I married again, to my current wife, who is a Christian as well (My second wife wasn't a Christian). My first wife has remained single, choosing to wait for my return, in prayer and supplication. As I write this, she waits.
I turned from Gods word and knowingly sinned. I allowed the devil to devour me. I admit it. There is no-one here in this forum that can be harder on me than I am to myself. God has placed this on my heart recently, and is convicting me of my sin, and leading me to repentance. Which brings me to my point:
What does repentance look like? A simple acknowledment of my sin? Divorcing my current wife to reconcile with my first wife--the mother of my children and wife of my youth? Beating myself with a whip?
Now, before any of you answer, I am aware how sensitive this topic is. I do not ask it lightly. I have read countless posts that tip-toe around this like it's the plague. I am aware of relative scripture. I also know that there will be multiple opinions. But, in your replies, it just might be that God shows me the answer. And that is what I am seeking.
So please, type away and let me know your opinions--and if it is possible--make it scriptural.
Thank you in advance.
