You see the devil is going to come and say, “You know, of that busted brokenness— missteps here, there, and everywhere-that is a disqualifier.”

Don’t believe the lie.

All the winding path God has brought you along,

is in order that you might be the useful person that you are today

so that as you meet strugglers on the sea of life,

you don’t have some peculiar, ridiculous story of triumph, but you have a story that says,

“He gave me beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning and a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.”

“Because He is the God of all grace.” ~ Alistair Begg
