Thanks for everyone's words about lying. That morning in Church I was flipping through my Bible trying to find every verse there was about lying...I was sure there was going to be one about liars going to hell or something like that. (Those of you that know me and the Bible know I know there is NOT a verse in the Bible that says that...I just WANTED there to be one...kind of...b/c I was hurt.) Anyway, instead God brought me to the 1 Corinthians 13 verses about love. I was like "FINE God, I will read it!"
I got to the part that talks about love not keeping a record of wrongs...and there is where my heart found peace. So, I went to the person, asked them to read those verses and talked to them about the lying. I told them how it made me feel to have them lie to me and then told them that at the same time God had told me that if I REALLY loved them, I would not keep a record of wrongs against them.
It was nice that for once my love was not conditional upon how they responded, but instead upon how God says love should be.
