Someone, somewhere right now is searching for a way to cheat on their spouse.
When the news first reported the Ashley Madison hack, I thought to myself – Who? Ashley Madison? What’s that? And why is it such a big deal? Hello, my name is Naive Eve. Pleased to meet you.
I don’t cheat. I don’t look for ways to cheat and I believe with my whole heart that my husband is living the same kind of committed lifestyle.
I bet a lot of other’s felt the same way until they followed one of the links to find their partner caught up in the most painful scandals of our current world.
What is wrong with people? Who does this? Who purposefully seeks out relationships outside of their marriage … knowing the truth could ruin their entire family forever?
Well, a lot of people. Cheating has been around much longer than dear old Ashley Madison’s been on the world wide web. Further proof that the human heart is flawed and wicked.
Why?
I believe is that people are broken. How can they not be? Tens of millions of people (there were supposedly 30,000,000 users signed up for this site) were affected by the hacking of Ashley Madison. That’s a lot of people involved in something they surely knew was never REALLY PRIVATE!
I don’t have the mental energy to linger on this subject too long. But, I also can’t stick my head in the sand and neither can you. Our world is full of confused and hurting people. Some of them, acting out so incredulously that it has become only a matter of linking to a site to find out if you’re the next victim.
Listen, if you haven’t heard…I am here to tell you – STUFF ON THE INTERNET IS NOT SECRET! Somehow, your sneaky little clicks can be found out. If you send nude photos of yourself, they can be seen by more than just the person you are sending them to. If you are looking for love in all the wrong places, you will eventually be found out. Be diligent, be of sound mind and protect yourself and the ones you love.
Don’t stray away from the place where you are safe and loved.
Before I close the door to my Ashley Madison thoughts today, let me be clear. My heart is no more healthier or whole than any of the cheaters found on this site or mingling around in the world of lust. I’m just as weak, I’m just as wicked, I’m just as pathetic.
I cast no stones. However, I want you to know… that my life and the ones I love in it are of utmost importance to me. I will forever try to live my life in a way that honors them because what I do in secret can and will have a tremendous affect on them. Beyond that, I never want to hurt the God who sees (Jehovah-jireh) with my foolish and sneaky ways just to satisfy a yearning inside of me.
What I do, what you do is absolutely linked to the people we love forever. Think about that before you go looking…
