ROMANS 6:19-23
I will respect [redacted] wishes and no longer write to him. I fully understand the disgust and anger towards the person I had allowed myself to become. I share it! Sadly, until 1995 I was basically that same person. The short story is that is around the time that events (my son's questions and a year-long treatment program) worked together while I was at the Fox Lake Correctional Institution to get me to truly see see the person I was.
I was devastated! I didn't even feel worthy to breathe the same air as everyone else! I hated myself! With the help of my friends, the treatment facilitators, and treatment group members I was encouraged to face the truth but not to give up on life. The bottom-line is that I could either continue to be a coward or I could face my fears and face my past as well as my present and my future.
The truth is I am no longer the person Daniel knew in Germany but I am also no longer the person who committed murder. People can choose to continue to hate me for the person I was 30 years ago but that person is already dead!
Unfortunately I cannot undo the past and all the pain I caused. But I can honor God and life by giving Him my adoration daily and never doing anything I know is wrong. And through an intimate relationship with my Lord and Savior I will continue to live a victorious life no matter where I live it!
Praise God!
