A very fine post.
Very encouraging. I can testify that God’s word hidden in my heart is the only reason I survived a crazy mixed-up earlier life. It hasn’t looked pretty, but I made it to the present against much oppression from our adversary and in spite of many (failed) attempts of my own to bail out on God.
He is very persistent, and rich in mercy. That sharp Sword of his cuts right through and eventually even the biggest crackpots among us begin to stabilize and mature!
