Letting Go of a Relationship
Most of us know that letting go of a relationship, even if it’s a toxic relationship, is one of the most difficult thing to do. In a previous article we mentioned when it might be a good idea to let go of a relationship However, many single Christians have communicated to us that simply knowing letting go of a relationship is not enough. One single Christian girl wrote that her cheating boyfriend has her under his power, and try as she might, she cannot break free by breaking up with him.
Letting Go of a Relationship Tips
Does the above scenario describe you? Don’t feel bad. You’re in good company. In Romans 7 Paul stated the right stuff he intended to do, he didn’t do. Instead he kept repeating the same stupid stuff over and over again. Paul had to let go of a broken relationship with something called sin. He couldn’t do it. He could NOT do it, but when he realized that it wasn’t about him, but Jesus who WAS able to deliver him, he had victory
Bible Verse of Day
~O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord~Romans 7:24,25

Hi…
Just wanted to say what a fantastic website this is!!!
I live in South Africa, i’m an Indian Christian guy, 21 years of age and studying Law in Durban…Natal
I was in a relationship with a wonderful who was not Christian, in many ways, she was very anti-Christian, or any other sort of set “religion” or lifestyle. I dated her through a very tough moment in my life where my parents marital problems began seeping into my life and she was there for me in every way possible. She gave me love, security and intimacy, everything a guy would want in a relationship…
But, this could only be maintained with us avoiding any religious topic, and that included me being silent about Jesus Christ, which was hurtful because I believe I had become close to God before we had started dating…
Needless to say, that the love she showed me and the chaos that was all around my personal life got me WAAAAAAY distracted! Soon, Jesus Christ wasn’t the centre of my life - She was.
I looked to her to create mt happiness, I looked to her for my sense of belonging and self-confidence, while subtley drifting away from my Bible, compomising my beliefs in Christ to be with her…
Then one day, when she had refused doing something with the rest of her family, they had accused her of being Christian when in actual fact she had no interest in Christianity. My heart broke when she had told me what they had said to her and how they reacted to her refusal. Beyond this, her thoughts about Christian came about again and this broke my heart even more…
Don’t get me wrong, she was the most amazing, moral girl i’ve ever had the pleasure of loving, but, this made me realise just how far away I was from Jesus…And that broke my heart more than anything else…
I tried speaking to her about the Lord in a desperate attempt to salvage the situation, but in the end, it’s all been in vain…And I had felt like I failed my God because I didn’t introduce her to Christ in the right way and that I had failed her because I had told her that I’d marry her one day…
At that time, I had remembered distant Bible verses of the Lord saying to His disciples (I think): “I wish that you were either hot or cold, but because you are luke warm, I will cast you out of my mouth…” People need to remember that many are called, but few, very few in this World are hand picked by Jesus Christ. He is the most loving, most benevolent, most fair being that exists today and forever! I tought about the fact that HE CREATED ME! Who under heaven could know me better!? Know the Lord, and know where you as a Christian can and can’t go in your relationship and who you consider dateable…First and foremost, if that person loves Christ with all they have, all other things will fall into to place if the two of you are meant to be together…It is true that we fight and argue for the sake of love and forgiveness in a relationship, but the fight and arguing will never heal if Christ isn’t the centre and foundation of your bond with your partner.
I’m single now, parents happily back together…Not really ready to date again for a while…But i’m closer to my Lord than I ever have been, I’ve allowed Him to consume my mind and being in wisdom, knowledge, truth and discipline. I know that life may not be smooth sailing from here ’til the end, but one thing remains certain through all of this, I need never and will never compromise on Jesus Christ again…
Feel free to email me, I love talking about these things…
Take care and Seek the Lord
