Change

A few weeks ago, I was down in Cincinnati for a prayer meeting with some friends. I had the opportunity while sitting at the table there to share my story with them. After hearing about what I've been there and my feelings about my wife, one young man was particularly effected. He noted that after hearing me speak he knew there was no one in this world who could love my wife like I can. He then made a statement that shook me to my core. He said to me,"You are twice the man that I am. The love you're showing for your wife is making me look at my own marriage. Its made me realize how important my wife is to me." He got up and hugged and kissed his wife right away. Later this young man pulled me aside and thanked me for coming. He said that some of the choices he's made had started him down a path similar to mine and that my witness could very well have saved his marriage.

I've told my wife in numerous ways over the past 8 months that I'm different but it wasn't until that moment when I realized how different I was. Anyone who says people can't change don't truly understand what God can do. When I look at how I was with the fog that I lived in, I truly begin to understand the change that God has done in me. Its the same change that he can do in anyone who gives their heart to him. People can change...
