"I am aware
more now of the illusions that had enticed and captured me
and were destroying me and my relationship with others, especially
my wife and kids. I am still tempted by these illusions but am growing
stronger as my faith continues to grow stronger. I also now realize
that the pain in my life is a blessing. I now accept the
challenges and trials as blessings because I know the end result
is always for my good. Whether a spider bite, a rough day at work,
or a major catastrophe, I always knew Romans 8:28, but now I am
beginning to act lke I am confident that God is engineering
all things for good." |
