Over the years, the hurt subsided, the anger went away, and he's now one of my best friends. We look back at our relationship and realize we would have NEVER worked - and we laugh about it. I became born-again, and I'm now able to share God's love with him - something that no one else in his life does - but had we never had a relationship, God couldn't have used me for this purpose. Remember that God uses ALL things for His glory - HIS glory, not our glory. Let God guide your ways - if He wants you in a long-term relationship that eventually ends, then sit back and wait for the good to come out of it. It always does. Trust Him. Post Reply

View Profile History	My four year disaster Posted : 1 Apr, 2009 08:15 PM I can I say I can relate in a way only mine was only 2 and 1/2 years, age 17 to 20. I actually came to Christ during the time I was dating, about 6 months before we broke up. It wasn't easy for me to start my walk with Lord, but I didn't want to give up someone I new I loved me. In the end, I realized that God's love would always be stronger. But I did fall into some bad things after the break up and it took me about another 6 months after to come back out of that. I have truly learned my lessons from those times, and that God's love always prevails no matter what. That nothing can give more joy than loving the Lord! Now that its been almost year I still have a little bit of hard time when things come up from the past but I'm learning that God wants us to focus on the present and not the past or the future. He uses our mistakes for us to learn, but I don't think we should regret things. I do still talk with him and we get along but I look at it now and don't see how it would have lasted much longer anyway as I was heading towards Christ. I still try to share Christ and be example and maybe I can lead friends to know Christ. Post Reply
