Is My Man Meant For Me?
9 November 2007 dans All God's Advice, Family Life
Dear God,
I’ve been praying to try to find an answer to this question for weeks now, but so far nothing is clear to me.
I betrayed the man I love, but I want so much for us to work out what went wrong and start again with a fresh beginning built upon the rock solid foundation of Jesus Christ so that we can fall in love again.
How can I tell that he is meant for me, and if he is, how can I be assured that we will be together forever?

Darlene,
I’d say that this man is not meant for you, given the way that you betrayed him. Also, I’ve noticed that even as you’ve come to me supposedly asking about how you can get back to this man, you’re trying to base your relationship with him on some kind of weird involvement with another man - my son.
Listen, Jesus is grown up now. I understand that. It’s not my business to tell him which women to date. If he wants to get messed up in some kind of bizarre love triangle with you and this other guy, that’s his decision, not mine.
Still, I have to wonder why you’re coming to me asking whether it’s okay for you to get into this threesome with Jesus and your preferred sexual partner. Do you think that this is the sort of thing that a father wants to have a conversation about?
You’ve been stalking me with your incessant praying. Nag, nag, nag. You won’t leave me alone. What really brings it over the line is when you talk about the kind of sexual positions you want Jesus to take with you and this man. The “foundation”? What, is that supposed to be, him on the bottom?
If Jesus wants to degrade himself like that with you, I supposed I can’t stop him, but I had hoped for better. I gave him a special start in life, and mentored him, made sure that he got to travel. I thought, maybe he’d be a rabbi, or get a good career changing money in the temple, but no, that was too good for him.
You and Jesus do whatever kinky kinds of things you want, okay? I just don’t want to hear about it. Keep praying, and I’m going to get a restraining order.
Oh, and if you want to be forever together with this man of yours, I suggest surgery. Look for the doctors who separate conjoined twins, and tell them you want the procedure reversed.
