Hello my dear sister, I so enjoyed your testimony on the grace of our Father. It seems like there are those that go through very hard things in life before and even after they become Christian. I always look at these as special for the great understanding of who their Father is. Not that we are not all special, but these seem to seek after something more than just a hap hazard relationship with their Father (my opinion only which is not worth much). For example prison inmates, some of them I have met through the years are the greatest Christian writers of our time, for whatever reason. They are educated, they have time to spend on spiritual matters, they have learned to trust for the most simplest things. When you read these you would not know they were inmates because they have learned that is just their situation, their life is a different story. They have come to understand life as a person (Christ) and the love you talk about. True deliverance is found in him, not being set free from a situation.
