Every Sin We Commit Is A Cry For Love...

2011 and the 2012 so far has been life-turning years for me and I have been so blessed to have fallen and risen again. These years brought about the biggest change in my life as I have been given a chance to press that very elusive reset button of life. The early part of 2011 and the years before that have been a struggle to get out of the pit that I have made will all my lies and sins that have affected people around me, most especially my family. It was only after I revealed all and told every single truth I withheld was I able to breathe normally again. The truth brings about pain, and I have had it. I had to stop hurting my family. I had to stop hurting myself. And with it all, the lies had to stop to. It was painful for my family, but we survived it. Now, I am on a clean slate. Everything has been forgiven, trust has been restored, we're all starting to build lives again. On this new life, I started my spiritual journey.
Before everything has been revealed, I'm sure I never stopped praying, but we all know praying is never enough. I had to act. That was the part most difficult to me back then. But now that I was given a chance, I know my faith should evolve, and I should have a deeper relationship with God. And so in seeking Him, I opened my mind to the possibilities. I finished a novena, I attended 2 Christian churches, and I kept looking for the best way for me to instill God in my heart. Since my faith was sincere, all of these were fruitful. But the most recent one, the one I attended to this morning, brought all the pieces for me together. I got an answer from day 1. I knew that was it. It's like the best of all combined to satisfy what I was looking for. And on my first day, the first lesson I've learned is that every sin we commit is a cry for love. Since we are able to find love, we resort to the most convenient way to satisfy it-- to sin. I just went to pieces when the last prayer was said. I know by then I can overcome any temptation. Whenever you feel the urge to sin, or whenever you feel tempted to do something not right, just always tell yourself that God loves you. That on its own would satisfy your cry for love. That would definitely save the day.
I still have a wealth of words to share but I fear some people wouldn't read by looking at the length of this article so I'm gonna finish it here. You can post your responses, and I'll be happy to comment on it.
Cheers!

I read it and I hear your heart. It was a nice story of getting back to your feet again and start walking with God. You will never be lost with him beside you. I am truly happy for you to be able to put all things into pieces to finally be able to feel the satisfaction of a chapter ending and a new one beginning. It is the closure that you need and you have it and you can now finally walk straight and not wander again. Walk with God and walk with your family, it is where you will always belong. God bless you and your family!

Thank you for your response. My wish is to inspire people to no longer live and dwell in the past, and instead see the opportunities to grow as an individual by enriching their faith. I believe my family has chosen to move on. We all have something to learn from what happened and I think it is just fit that we move on further.
God bless you too!

To be honest it sounds very hipocryte to me that you never stopped praying but at the same you lie and cheat and fool everyone.
Also your words sound very cheap to me. Because you can't live with your lies anymore you confess to your family. A big relieve to you because now you can go on with your life. But what about your family. It's very hard to believe for me that they are already over your behaviour and confession. This is impossible within 1 year time. You will always be someone they won't trust sooner or later. You damaged a lot. Not because of loved them but because YOU were not able to live with it anymore.
I also find the title of your discussion cheap. You just say that to as an excuse for your behaviour.. a cry for love, so actually you are saying it's their fault you lied and not yours?
Once a thief always a thief is a saying we have.. and with the word "thief" we also mean liars, cheater, etc. Since an old fox might get grey hair but it's behaviour will never change. I wish you wisdom, the real one.

All of what you said is probably true but you don't know my family, you don't know what I have done, you don't know what I lied about and why, and I never blamed them ever. What I said about crying for love doesn't mean that it was my family's fault, I never said that. Maybe I had self-rejection, maybe it was me who didn't love myself, maybe it was me who thought I wasn't worthy. You judged me right away without knowing the circumstances. You're probably right, they might not be over yet about my behavior and at the back of their minds, they probably are still doubting. I know this, and I can't blame them. But they did give me a chance. They didn't just let me die in self-pity, feeling sorry for what I have done for the rest of my life. I'm not sure if you would ever understand that but I hope for your sake that you do. You most probably have a family too and you have probably lied as well for at least once in your life. I think to say that it sounds hypocritical is hypocritical all the same. I am just human, I sin, but I am learning.
Haven't you ever hurt someone else? Did they not forgive you for what you've done? Or didn't anyone ever lie to you? Did you never forgive anyone who had wronged you? If you're answer to these questions are "No", then you might as well just turn that hypocritic pointing-finger around.
