Well, it is, through trials and tests and mercies and gifts of the Lord.

He is worthy of all praise for it and bit by bit, my capability of issuing that praise is growing. It’s a strange, supernatural life to one, like myself, who had so long been preoccupied with the world’s way of doing things.

God has a strange way of arguing, by blessing us strategically when we’ve been selling Him short.

I’ve been in discussions with a sister-in-law for years by email and she’s starting to visibly pick up the brightness of the Lord’s blessing. I’ve warned about the dangers of the devil and hell, but tried to refocus on the power of God at the end of such discourses. And along the way, learned better and better ways to express it. Perhaps even my brother, who has been a private person and shown few signs of inclination to be a believer, is starting to see this light. But perhaps like me, he was simply a great doubter. Doubt isn’t the unforgivable sin. God will have mercy on those who doubt in ignorance and unbelief, till they doubt no more.

Bingo, and sometimes you don't realize it until later and are awestruck!
