So when I read 1 Timothy 1:15-16 the other day, I was brought to tears because I remember those days, those years that I didn’t have it altogether- though I had a personal relationship with Him; I remember those seasons in my life that were filled with bad choices, negative decisions, confusion, hatred, unforgiveness, disobedience…and the list (believe you me) could keep going.
