Matthew 24:10 ESV
“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

“Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.

“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: …”

But my heart is very heavy right now. I am having a really hard time with this. I dont know what to do or where to turn.
Have you tried asking forgiveness to that person that you betrayed? Jacob, also betrayed Esau and for so long he suffered from the same fear and guilt. But when he finally decided to come to the Lord and humbled himself before Esau and decided to ask him for forgiveness, he did get his forgiveness with the bonus of security and peace. Try asking forgiveness to that person. It won’t hurt you, instead will liberate you from that guilt and fear.
thank you I will try and ask for forgiveness from her and God.
Great… I will include that in my prayers tonight… Let me know the result. 🙂 Blessings!
