Day 9: Before and After Eph. 6:11-12
"I used to be dead. I lived like the world and was led by my flesh and the devil. I pursued passionate desires. My will was bent towards every little impulse to fulfill my lust. I was filled with guilt, regret, and shame. I believed I was living, but I was a walking dead man. The good news is that God is filled with an abundance of kindness and mercy!
