It was cold in the living room at six in the morning. The coffee was warm, but I was very tired. I wanted to die. It was even colder at seven. My coffee was ice-cold and I was totally exhausted. At half past seven I only felt warm sunshine and I was full of energy. I hugged my friend and wept. I was happy! I was saved!
During my teenage years all I wanted was to travel. During my university years I dreamed of traveling all around the world. I studied economics and languages in Moscow and read books about remote places. My grandpa was like that. In the next 23 years my job took me to more than 23 countries. I thought: "I made it!" My resume was impressive. At the back of my mind I had some fear though. What if I was caught and they realized I was not that clever...but then I affirmed myself: You work hard, you deserve this career!
In 2005 I was on top. I was regional finance-administration-human resources-safety-compliance-and so on-manager of a large multinational company. I had a big car, big house and a big salary. And I had Izabella, my beautiful wife whom I neglected, but I loved her from the moment we met. I drank a lot and gradually alcohol became a pain with headaches and all that. Izabella got pregnant about the time when my drinks were not tasty anymore. Then I visited my former girlfriend and cheated on my wife. I was sure that was in order. The world around me confirmed that.
Then my wife was enticed by an almost friend of mine. One night I dreamed about Izabella and my almost friend sitting on a beautiful hill with flowers. He looked into my eyes and said: "Yes, it is true..." I cried out loud and woke myself up. Izabella woke too.
We decided not to kill ourselves, since we had our kids. Not to divorce, for the same reason. We still loved each other. We slipped and we would work it out! And it was great! For two days. Then I started hating myself. One night after a painful discussion, Izabella went to see her friend, Hajnalka. In three hours she came home and said she met God and she is fine. Then she went to sleep. She was relaxed. I was not. The next day At six the next morning, I went to see my friends, Zoli, Hajnalka's husband. He told me my problem was I could not forgive Izabella and I could not forgive myself. He told me about the Bible, sin, Jesus and true forgiveness. That morning I accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, and I felt I was born anew.
My life changed. I now live healthy, avoiding anything harmful to my body and soul. I want every couple, struggling with the worldly challenges and infidelity to hear my story. No young couple should go where we have been. They can avoid the pain. They can avoid hurting the person they love most - just by learning about Jesus, who loved us and loves everyone unconditionally.
