In weakness we can find strength,
God’s perfect strength. But in our strength, our pride, when fully developed,
we can find desolation and pain. Such was the case in my life many years ago in
a place far away.
I was a faithful Christian, involved
in church leadership, teaching Bible classes, volunteering at the children’s
private Christian school. I was the epitome of walking after the Lord…on the
outside.
Inside I had allowed doubt and lust
to establish a foothold in my heart and mind. Subtly I allowed stray looks,
personal remarks and thoughts to slide in and build comfortable seating
arrangements in my inner man, in my heart.
