So beautifully, beautifully said, dearest sister in Christ!
Thank you ever so much for this outstanding essay/post!
To God be the glory!
I had been struggling for months on how to explain that "epiphany" - and finally boiled it down to the part you excerpted. Thank you so much for affirming that it is finally clear (or at least, clear-er.)
To God be the glory, not man, never man!
