Samson, the Story of Uncontrollable Weaknesses
The Consequences of Uncontrolled Weakness!
Illustrated by the story of Samson
Unfortunately for you as the reader of this, I feel the need to preface my illustration using the story of Samson (beginning on page 5 herein), by referring to my own life, and how it may correlate too——so I have inserted a more definitive portion of my own life in correlation (for the ones who may not know the “more rebellious side of me”)——-because though broken for the Lord now, my flesh still battles my spirit in pride——and there are times when it seems I fall back a mile instead of going forward just one small step——–!
The choices we make, as our Lord provides, even when we are so blinded by our pride, are pivotal———–do we allow Him to use us to be all we can be for Him, or do we “squander His blessings?”
But, He is faithful!
I thought this may some time be a good testimony for young people. In your case too, I cherish each friendship, and covet the prayers you offer to lift me up to my Lord.
Thanks for your encouragement. Many of you were such great testimonies to me——even in my “rebellion”——–that I want to be sure you know, as you had impact on my life, but maybe weren’t aware of it, since it seemed I did not respond. But, now, I can see the Lord’s hand in your testimony, and others faithful to Him in their walk.
