Your comment about empathy reminded me of this scripture: "God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Sometimes it’s a long journey from the hurt we experience in childhood to healing through Christ in our adult years.

Now, I consider it training to help others in similar situations. I have empathy and understanding that I would never had before. God has redeemed my childhood to allow me to be a better counselor to others. With God, NOTHING is ever a waste/wasted. Praise God!

And, He knows that we will never be perfect, but He wants us to keep following Him. Jesus was the only perfect human and there will never be another person like Him! May God bless and keep you today and always. You are precious to Him! And, He knows that we will never be perfect, but He wants us to keep following Him.

He is a God of grace, mercy and forgiveness. I'm so thankful for that! As a word of encouragement--my father was unsaved when he met and married my mom. Later, my dad accepted Christ and became a wonderful spiritual leader in our home. :) Danya, God can use the story of our life, no matter how “imperfect” we consider it to be.

I am feeling more encouraged than ever to share my past with others. My shame has been turned into gratitude. Also my belief and faith that my sweetheart will some day turn his life over to the Lord has become stronger as well. I truly believe God has a plan for both of us and I know it is a good plan.
