EXPEL!

In any Bible published in today's world, the section title over 1 Corinthians 5 is "Expel the Immoral Brother!" Now I know Paul did not actually make section titles over his chapters and such, that things like this were added for convenience, but I always think of this section title when people ask me about dealing with people whom they generally stumble around. I've recently had to "expel" someone from my life because of the effect they had on my walk with God, and it has certainly helped my life.

Until said person texted me recently. Now I feel guilty for "expelling" them.

I'm going to be vague here so as to help relate this to any situation as well as to protect the name of this expelled party. The long and short of it is that this person led me down paths that caused me to stumble in a sexual manner. No intercourse was involved, but there were some heated conversations and such that left me feeling sick later on. These events were a direct violation of my promises to God and to my future beloved (I don't know who she is yet, but this is something less I have to give to her), and left me feeling like scum. Because of this, I took the drastic measure to remove this person from my life. I wasn't exactly the nicest person in the process, I will confess, but it felt like I needed to be forceful to get them out of my life, and when they came back one time before (about a month ago), it made my blood boil out of rage.

The guilt, however, comes from the fact that I punished this person for my own weakness. Yes, she did exploit it, but I question how right it was to be angry with them over my own faults. I was already angry with myself and my incompetence in fighting back this false self within me (I still am), but is it wrong to be greatly angry at someone for something you weren't strong enough to fight?

I have no answer here, and I know and believe that God alone gives me the strength to win any battle, but I come up short on answers here in terms of forgiveness. I have forgiven this person and no longer feel anger here, but I have no idea how to handle this in terms of this persons involvement in my life.
