Damaged Integrity: Restoring and Rebuilding - Part 1

As we go through life, we try to be prepared for the unexpected because life is not always predictable. Parenting is seldom what we expects it to be. Marriage has lots of surprises, for there are unseen variables that are beyond our control. However as we trust that God will help us manage difficult situations, anxiety and stress can be kept within appropriate boundaries.

The inability to find solutions for common and difficult problems sets a person or family up for conflict and sometimes alienation. All of us are guilty of this behavior to varying degrees, but God designed us for change. The Lord Jesus Christ will forgive, heal, and restore where there is confession, repentance, and genuine sorrow for sin.

Our hope is found in choosing to change instead wasting our lives away for nothing of real value. The empowerment for making this choice comes by committing our lives to Christ Jesus. The reward is having integrity restored rather than lapsing into despair for the last years of life. Your choices determine your future.
