Sister Linda,
Please sit back and do something you enjoy for a little while. Maybe you want to watch a movie (but haven't had time) maybe you want to read one of your favorite books; whatever it is...do it! You must first reduce the stress before continuing to worry about this horrible matter.
It is hard to deal with hypocrites and you begin to wonder if there even is a true Christian. The thing that starts to hurt the most is people truly believe that this person is a Christian and you must be an awful person. After all, this person can quote the bible inside and out without a problem. I know it hurts…I was there not to long ago and I still face the pain as a girl is a “professed Christian” who literally stalked me and made my life as horrible as she could. Why? I don’t know.
But why does a criminal hurt people? Why did a young man in his late 20’s rape a nun? Why did a man in his 40’s rape an 84 year-old? No one knows, Linda, but people do it.
And take a look at serial killers. They are brilliant when it comes to education and everyone that knew them claim things like “oh, he could never do that. He was such a sweet and caring man that would do anything for anyone.” Yet, for years and years he has been hunting down, raping, and brutally killing people.
The same goes for these “wonderful born again people”. The hypocrites know the bible and they trick to people around them, but they still choose their victim. If nothing else, have comfort in this Linda. Know that other Christians face the same stress and fear.
I found comfort by God’s words when everyone treated this killer of souls like a sweet and innocent girl:
Revelation 22: 12 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what they have done.
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, those that practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murders, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (NIV)
These simple words have given me much peace. Only you know which the guy is, but the girl I knew, I can safely say she will get for murder (for killing a soul of a person just learning about God) and for sexual immortality (for sleeping with many men and claiming the name of Jesus was hers while she slept with one man after the other).
I just hope that God will help me forgive her, because as time has passed by I still have trouble. Linda, I hope and pray you find peace and forgiveness in all this. I would leave this man alone unless you feel God has chosen you continue doing His work in this guy.
All my love!
