"Why would we take the worst moments in our lives and make it the defining characteristics of who were going to be forever?" - Erwin McManus
I know who I was. I was a sinner. I was dead in my transgressions. I was lost.
I am not that man any longer. The core of my being has been changed. Yes, I may screw up from time to time (sometimes I screw up more than others), but it is because I do not do what I want to do, and what I do not want to do, I do. My God has exchanged my flesh for His Spirit, and the core of who I am is centered on Him, and not on me.
