How do I heal my heart from a husband who cheated on me?

how do i heal my heart from a husband who cheated on me and made a baby with another woman I wish I had a sign that this baby was not from God well a couple of things first in healing a heart we need to recognize that healing is sometimes a very a very gutsy thing and not just a tender thing it's both by the gutsy thing I mean this man is wicked in what he did it may not be weakened anymore he may have repented and that's wonderful there should be a reconciliation but but it's a wicked thing to commit adultery to cheat to break your vows and a baby born of that just complicates matters all the more and so this woman should feel in her heart that was wicked that was evil that was wrong and you can tell by my tone of voice I mean she should feel it with some sense of gutsy indignation and I say that because that's got to be dealt with before healing can happen in tender ways and it's dealt with in two ways in the New Testament one it's dealt with in Hell an injustice has been done it will be righted she wants to write it by clobbering the guy or damming the baby that's got to be held back and another way of dealing with it that's she's satisfied with must happen and it will happen in hell that guy will go to hell if he doesn't repent and that punishment is more than she could ever deliver and therefore she doesn't need to add to it so God read vengeance is mine I will repay says the Lord if your enemy is hungry feed secondly justice is rendered on the cross and if that man repents and believes the blood of Jesus will cover him and to try to add to the punishment that Jesus received for him will be to do double jeopardy and it will be to dishonor the Savior that's the gutsy level second gutsy level kind of is that the child is not of God and is of God it's not of God in that it was born in sin it wasn't meant to be born that way so no it shouldn't have happened you could say that but it is of God and that the Lord gives them the Lord takes away and many babies have been born in sin who become godly men and women and are used of the Lord so she should pray that the babies be saved and that it glorify her Savior and that all this wrong should be righted then at the tender level she needs people to come around to her and remind her that Jesus is a faithful Savior but a faithful husband and if everybody in the world cheats on you Jesus won't cheat on you and get real close to Jesus and love Jesus and thank Jesus and maybe then find the resources to forgive husband you will find you
