Two weeks ago I had occasion to spend some time with a literal “basement dwelling drug addict.”
This man has had a very unfortunate childhood….. revolving door of foster homes…. limited education, limited intellectual capacity…. tough and adverse circumstances in almost every area in his life.
Yet, he was struggling with his lot in life and struggling with the addiction. He is looking for relief and wants some “overcoming” in his life.
I thought that his attitude and courage to….”seek” … was indeed admirable. He is “seeking God and seeking help from God.”
He struggles…. He experiences some victory….. he stumbles….but has not given up. Guy has some grit.
I have great hope for him.
The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
