I thought that I had forgiven my husband, but I could no longer be intimate with him. When I read the devotional: A Matter’s End, I realized that I was still angry with him and had not truly forgiven him. Now I see that in order for me to forgive him fully, I must stop thinking of myself and reach out to my husband so that our relationship will not be hindered. I must decrease so that God can increase in me. The conclusion of the matter is that I must give up my pride so that meekness and perfect love can come in. “Yahweh, You are faithful and true. I must decrease so that You can increase”. (John 3:30)
