Where There Is No Opposition

I Had Lots Of Hurt And Lots Of Pain, Lots Of Woundedness, Bruises, Broken Heartedness In My Life. I Was Abused Sexually By My Father, Abused Mentally, Emotionally. My Mom Didn't Know What To Do About It, And She Was Being Hurt In The Process. So She Just Didn't Deal With It. And I Can Guarantee You, Just Because You Don't Deal With Something, That Doesn't Make It Go Away.

[t]he Christian Is Unable To Sin And Not Care ... They May Sin, But They Cannot Do So Comfortably And Continually. They Are Very Much Aware Of Their Wrong Actions, And They Are Very Miserable.

Your Worst Day With God Is Still Better Than Your Best Day Without Him.

It's So Easy To Settle For Less Than God's Best For Us Because We Don't Always Feel Like Taking Responsibility For Our Behavior Or Putting Forth Some Effort To Do What We Need To Do So We Can Accomplish Great Things For God And Help People. But The Cost Of Settling For Less Is Actually Harder Than Being Completely Obedient To God's Will.

Early On In My Life, I Had A Broken Soul. I Was Abused By My Father, Abandoned By My Mother And Ended Up In A Destructive First Marriage. By The Time I Was 23, I Was Broken In My Soul. I Didn't Know How To Think Right. I Felt Wrong About Everything. But God Stepped Into My Life, And I Came Out On The Other Side And Didn't Even Smell Like Smoke.
