Whenever I think of how God can use someone to convict you of something, I don't know why, but I always think of someone who is very influential, older and wiser, maybe even a missionary or a pastor... but that's not always the case. God can use ANYone.... but a younger sibling? ..........Yup. Absolutely.
Every time I feel I am ahead of the game or my head's 'far above the water', the Lord shows me just how weak and vulnerable I really am. Even though I feel saddened and discouraged, I also feel a sense of joy, in a way... because I know there is hope in the Lord!! He is quick to forgive, full of mercy and compassion!
Even though it can be heart-wrenching sometimes, it can also be a time of joy... if we would only turn our focus UPWARD!!
I love you so much Jake! Thank you for obeying the Spirit and for allowing Christ to work through you. My prayer for you is that you will continue to grow in the Lord and become a mighty man of valor!!!
"...Thou hast chastised me, and i was chastised... ...turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God." Jer. 31:18
