SyQUOTES My favorite bio: ‘Sinner saved by God’s Mercy & Grace’. It’s a miracle God bothers to use me at all, knowing all that He knows”. “I’ve had people say to me, ‘You’re the LAST person I’d ever pick as a representative of sexual redemption!’ I can only agree and say ‘I know—and that’s probably exactly why God would deliberately pick someone like me…after all, it is God who first originated the idea of not judging a book by it’s cover…of picking ‘the reject’, ‘the weak one’, the ‘least likely to succeed’.” “Oswald Chambers describes my situation well when he said: “We
are still just a bunch of beggers…the difference is, we now go to God
for our bread”.” |
