So you are looking for hope.

I have no idea what you were hoping to read. The one looking for forgiveness from his wife. I have no idea what you have done, did not do, or anything about your circumstance. What I do know about is HOPE. A simple four letter word that is like the sour creme icing on a red velvet cake. The cake just isn't good without the icing....such is life without hope. Now, I have been on a few desperate highways of life. I have felt hopeless. BUT, my REAL hope comes from God, not people, situations, events, issues, tragedies. Because I know I am saved, my Lord died on the cross for me and my failures, and I asked for HIS forgiveness, HIS REDEMPTION, HIS HOPE. God does not let me down. He doesn't leave me, lie to me, betray me. HE IS. No matter where I find myself in life....God is there. I can't speak for people who do not KNOW THE LORD. I don't know where their hope comes from. The world will tell you there is no hope for you and your wife. The world will tell you to just throw it all away. Friends may even say it's impossible to overcome. This I know. My God is hope. He is about holding on when others have already let go. He is about waiting, being patient, kind, long suffering. Right now He is hoping you will find His hope that isn't dependent upon others. First, ask God to forgive you for what you have done wrong. Place your face to the floor. Let go and let your regrets fall out of your heart. Give your situation to Him. Wait. Once you give God your life, you are on His timetable. So wait, hope, change. Whether your wife forgives you or not, I have no idea. But, it only takes one request from God and He forgives. That is your hope today. That is going to help you make it. You can put your hope in this.
