Dating Gone Wrong! My Story.

Hello again dear reader, today I want to share with you my story of being catfished! Last year 2024 I was dating online and ended in what I thought was a wrong “relationship”, that person used me to scam others and was putting a noose around my life to end my life by entangling me in his schemes!I thought I was helping him build his “hospital in Puerto Rico”, what a lie! Lord be with me.

I stopped the whole thing and let the police know about what had happened. I went with the support of my Family. It was really scary and I was honestly even scared for my life and safety.

The thing is I had been betrayed and lied to by that person or persons I do not know how many people were behind it. But I finally thanks to God saw the light and finished that situation. I honestly thought I was getting married in a year or so with this person.

My lesson or advice: be very wary and careful of dating and even online dating it’s a trap I think the apps are not only getting you to pay for their “services” but people who are not real or really looking for marriage or a relationship are getting in! So be careful out there! I definitely learned my lesson.

Do not trust strangers. And do not give in if someone asks you to lower your standards. I grew from that, I am not embarrassed for God used it to get me out of that cycle of aimless dating online. I was dating with marriage in mind but nothing went right.

I was looking for love and God wanted me to experience His unconditional Love first hand by His Unconditional and Redeeming Love. He really did!

He has forged me in the fire and is still cleansing me of all that past. Sometimes forgetting it is the hardest part. Healing. But HE is good and gracious.

I repented and turned away from the wrong habits and mindsets. I am not saying I was not saved before, I was just asleep in a way I guess by the things of the world and the Lord has Awakened me!

So dear friend and reader, know this, God is Love and no one compares to His Love! I can attest to that Love, He has been so good and kind to me and Gracious and Merciful King.

I am writing this because I have been wrestling with this to post this and share my struggle and mistakes in public so others can see the light of Jesus in and through me, even through this horrible past situation.

I have seen His goodness in my life repeatedly over and over again this 2025 year, He is good! I Love Him more than ever before! And I know He is going to complete His work In Me until the Day of Christ’s Return.

I am not perfect I fail just like we all fail. And perhaps this might be like a shameful and dishonoring thing, maybe, but God is a God who specializes in saving what was lost and in rescuing what was very lost.

He got me out of that pit of sin I was in. I have been redeemed. The Lord is good, always is with us even in times of trouble. Especially in times of trouble.

So remember, whatever you may be going through, He is right beside you, defending you but specially when we humbly come before Him and recognize our faults and need of HIs Forgiveness and Grace.

Isaiah 43:1 “But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you: and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”

I hope this was in any way useful for the edification and freeing of souls from darkness, not just my own soul but of others too. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank you for reading this, and for your continued support.
