Judge all man by the Spirit of God and not by the flesh.
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Many moons ago, I thought I was living my best life. I was neck-deep in sin. I was ok with jumping from one relationship to another because fear of being alone. One night I cried out to the Lord. I had enough of the world. I have been running away from my call for many years. I desired to live for the Lord. I hope a family and no longer live a lifestyle of sin.
Things did not happen overnight. The Lord took me through inner healing, deliverance, and renewing my mind over the years.

I was the worst of the worst and unashamed of anything I did in my past. I desire that freedom for others. This is because I have the revelation of grace unmerited grace. If he saved me from promiscuity and blessed me with a beautiful family, He can do it for anyone.
