I get quite a few opportunities to speak to groups, generally having a chance to tell them how God has changed me from within. It’s honestly hard for me to stand in front of a group and tell of the things I once would do. The person I speak of is me, but how could he have done those terrible things? Somehow, through the grace of God, I’m a different person now, with a new way of thinking and a softer and kinder heart. No doubt the Lord is not through with me yet, and there are plenty of sharp edges left for Him to grind off, but I thank Him often for the work He has already done. And to imagine, it all started when I first agreed that I needed help– that I was, in fact, a sinner through and through!
“Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit… For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!” Ezekiel 18:31b-32
