You know and you have to be responsible before God
to guard your own thoughts. If you don't
it can lead to step two, which is emotional, non physical involvement.
To assume that all is well between a man and a woman
just because there is no physical contact is a big mistake. What I mean by an emotional affair is when
you find yourself attached to a person other than your spouse. That person may be able to meet for you
emotional needs of caring, encouragement, support, love that you may not be
getting from your spouse but you find yourself attached to this other
person.
I think unbelievers don't spend a whole lot of time
here. But CHRISTians do. They very easily develop emotional attachment
to people they have no business developing attachments to.
There was a pastor's wife a few years ago who was in
a very unhappy marriage and she said, "I have begun to talk to a man in
the church who is so sympathetic, so kind, seems to be so understanding of my
pain. He's never touched me. If he ever does, I'm a gonner."
I believe some of you know exactly what I'm talking
about. I have prayed that the HOLY
SPIRIT would use this time to show you a dangerous involvement that you have
and what you've been saying is OK because there was no physical contact but you
realize that you have an attachment for someone other than your spouse and it's
dangerous.
Song of Solomon 8:6 "Close your heart to every
love but mine." That is something
you need to do in your relationships.
Just a thought from the front porch…
