How in the world did I get here? I am so far from where I want to be with my marriage, my family and my walk with God. I am hopeless and in utter despair. I live my days angry, bitter and ashamed - I'm so sad and I am too tired to keep this up any longer and I have no hope that tomorrow will be different. This is where I was 6 months ago - before I had a Fresh Start for my heart, but the good news is that I am not there anymore.
Over the last 6 months I have been prayerfully and honestly examining my heart to identify sources of unforgiveness and shame that had made it impossible for me to experience Gods forgiveness, love, grace and mercy in my life. I praise God that I now see that deliverance and freedom from my condition is found in His forgiveness and mercy. I have been set free to see myself as God sees me - and see others as He sees them. I do not write this as a man who has 'arrived' and is now complete, but as a man who has experienced freedom from bondage and has new hope. As a bonus - my wife has come along a similar path. While our processes have been almost completely independent; the condition of my heart is not dependant on her and her heart not dependant on mine. My wife and I have found our marriage to be stronger and more fulfilling than we could have ever imagined. Because His mercy and love has set us free individually - to be forgiven & forgive, love & be loved, we are free to experience relationship and marriage has He intended.
