Two twin boys were raised by an alcoholic father. One boy grew up to be an alcoholic and when asked what happened he said "I watched my father". The other boy grew up and never drank in his life. When asked what happened, he said, "I watched my father". Two boys, same father, two different perspectives.
A man named Kirk Franklin wrote this but the words seem to jump out at me.
I have one older sibling (who never drank) and two younger ones (who rarely drank) but it seems like I'm the one who chose to follow in my alcoholic father's footsteps. It seems like one mans fight with the devil is another man's road to redemption.
God truly does work in mysterious ways. We are exactly where He wants us to be to walk in the path that He leads us to. Ephesians 4: 21-24'Since you have heard about Jesus and learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy'.
Dear Lord, please give me strength to shed a part of my past sinful life, little by little everyday , until I am totally clean by the blood of the Lamb.......... To humbly bow down before you my Heavenly Father. To finally get the chance give my all to you.
To be One with you.
What a day that will be!!!
