πͺπ½ So proud of my first 1 β #podcast review!! πͺπ½
Yes, this is true, and I will shout it from the rooftops! π£ I am a recovering porn addict who nearly destroyed my marriage before it even started...and several other times along the way.
Remember, #God takes our struggles, weaknesses, sin, and failures and uses them for his redemptive purposes when repent and trust in Him.
If it weren't for my struggle with pornography...
β I wouldn't understand the depths of #God's unconditional love.
β I wouldn't have a 21 year marriage built on the rock-solid foundation of #God's grace.
β I wouldn't have a ministry to so many other #men who've struggled in the same way.
β I wouldn't have written my book, "Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the Gospel" -

All that, and more, not because of my efforts, but because of the restorative work of the Holy Spirit in my life.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, βMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.β Therefore I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE GLADLY ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES, so that Christβs power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christβs sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
π Thank you, RandyTheRater, for giving me the opportunity to boast in my weaknesses for the glory of #God! π Amen!
