Reminds me of Daddy God's promise: Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isa 46:4 Were it not for Christ Jesus, where else would every relationship go, but downhill, no matter how well-meant, willpower can only go so much; but the loneliness and hurts inside, the pride, and selfishness, truly, only the Lord Jesus can heal those.
