I turned on the TV a few days ago to see a beautiful young woman singing a song called "Unfaithful". Her name was Rihanna.
"Unfaithful" spoke about her grief over her affair with another man and how her infidelity was killing her husband. The song was so effective emotionally because I wanted to hate her for her unfaithfulness being a victim of adultery myself, and yet I wanted to love her for her courage to sing this song and express the torment adultery brings so well. It shows what it means to grieve sin and desperately not want to do it any more.
It wasn't long before I realized this is the song of every one of us who has been unfaithful to God and repented. And, yet so many of us in the church never get this far. And it seems that often when people come to the virge of repentance, it seems they come to this point of feigned powerlessness where we're crying out, "I don't wanna do this anymore". But, still, before we come to that place of making a decision and asserting powerfully and responsibly, "I am not going to do this anymore", we often have to come through that "I don't wanna" zone first. The weak stay there, and the strong move beyond it and make a decision.
Rihanna, thank you for giving us such a beautiful, deep,and meaningful song.

story of my life
searching for the right
but it keeps avoiding me
sorrow in my soul
cause it seems that wrong
really loves my company
hes more than a man
and this is more than love
the reason that the sky is blue
the clouds are rolling in
because i'm gone again
and to him i just can't be true
and i know that he knows i'm unfaithful
and it kills him inside
to know that i am happy with some other guy
i can see him dying
i don't wanna do this anymore
i don't wanna be the reason why
everytime i walk out the door
i see him die a little more inside
i don't wanna hurt him anymore
i don't wanna take away his life
i don't wanna be...
a murderer
i feel it in the air
as i'm doing my hair
preparing for another day
a kiss up on my cheek
he's here reluctantly
as if i'm gonna be out late
i say i won't be long
just hanging with the girls
a lie i didn't have to tell
because we both know
where i'm about to go
and we know it very well
cause i know that he knows i'm unfaithful
and it kills him inside
to know that i am happy with some other guy
i can see him dying
i don't wanna do this anymore
i don't wanna be the reason why
everytime i walk out the door
i see him die a little more inside
i don't wanna hurt him anymore
i don't wanna take away his life
i don't wanna be...
a murderer
our love, his trust
i might as well take a gun and put it to his head
get it over with
i don't wanna do this
anymore (anymore)
i don't wanna do this anymore
i don't wanna be the reason why
everytime i walk out the door
i see him die a little more inside
i don't wanna hurt him anymore
i don't wanna take away his life
i don't wanna be...
a murderer (a murderer)
no no no no
yeah yeah yeah
