Allow me to translate:
“I feel like I’m myself with you.”
“You make me feel alive for the first time in a long time.”
“I feel like I’ve found myself when I’m with you.”
Really means…I’ve lost touch with who I am. I’ve numbed out. There’s a part of me that you help bring awareness to.
It may not be limited to extra-marital affairs. It maybe a destructive habit. But here’s how it happened:
1. Your soul was disturbed. Questions surfaced. You began to fantasize about what could/should be about your life.
2. You kept on punching the clock and going through the motions.
3. Your soul shriveled. One day at a time. You lost touch with who you are.
4. The part of you that was killed off is awakened by that person or habit.
You can choose now to dive deep into no.1 and explore who you are. Spelunk your soul.
OR you can become a hollowed out shell. Then after the false excitement of the affair wears off you’ll find you still face the same problems with your identity.
Invite Jesus into your questions. Even if you’re having the affair, it’s not too late.
