I think some us can relate to this poem, one way or another,
I am so happy being more focused on God, and not the ways of the world.
Good post Joe. God bless.

Great Testimony.  Only God can make us whiter than snow.  We are Sinners saved by Grace.

...a man dating his sins...   Wow, that is a powerful statement!  The imagery is excellent.  Such a great way to describe it, especially because sin is so seductive!

Thanks for sharing this statement. It warns people not to get
themselves into a situation that intice them to sin.

5:1 My son, be attentive to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding; 5:2 that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. 5:3 For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; 5:4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; 5:6 she does not take heed to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. 5:7 And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 5:8 Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house; 5:9 lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless; 5:10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of an alien; 5:11 and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, 5:12 and you say, "How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! 5:13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.

Thank God the old man has passed away and we have become new creatures in Christ.  I thank God Joe that I'm not the person I once was.  I had to be stripped also with death, divorce and my other child wanting to live with his father.  All I had was Jesus!

Yes Bro. Joe I know what you are talking about. I know what it feels like when the Lord allows us to be broke down....but nothing feels sweeter than when He picks us up and we can shout Glory to God! Ain't that right bro. Joe? Thank you for that thought provoking piece.

Thank you for sharing your story.  As I was riding to work one day God gave me a powerful release in a simple statement, "I am not those things which I have done."  God doesn't want you to be ashamed, He wants you to walk with your head held high in Him!  You are an awesome man of God and I know that He has and is going to continue to use you in a mighty way!  May you continue to grow in knowledge of him.

Joe,  the most powerful part of your testimony is at the end.  Sharing our transformation with others, admitting our sin so that we may be healed.  So that Satan can no longer accuse us.....when we accept the grace and forgiveness of God.

 I was bound for many years with the spirit of defeat.  Satan convinced me that God could never forgive my sins.  That I was always going to be the same way.  

 Praise God that through his grace and mercy I defeated these thoughts in Jesus' name.

Good post, I too dated my sins for years-we had a secret affair until my sin exposed me to my wife, about my other life. I too found the freedom you spoke of, a real and everlasting love.

Thanks
