Certain situations just make us cry out for God's grace.

For 18 years, I lived in deception and was one person on the outside and somebody totally different on the inside.

And then last August when I went off to college, the life of deception I had been living on the inside became a parent on the outside and made many very wrong choices.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Le DeMoss for Thursday, October 11th.

Sometimes the most challenging events have a bright spot because they remind us how much we need grace. Some revive our hearts listeners have been discovering this. A group of women have been listening

to Nancy's teaching on grace this week along with us, and we're going to find out what God's

grace looks like for them in the difficult, real world. We'll hear from Nancy in a minute,

but first, a situation requiring a lot of grace.

This is a terrible story I'm going to tell, but I married this man that I did not love.

At the time, I prayed on my wedding day that the church roof would fall intercepting

different reasons. I mean, I just did just did it you know i didn't have any

counsel i didn't know what i was doing and i've i've never been happy i've never i've never loved him i

i respect him in some ways he's a great and stuff, but it's like we are two opposite sides of the railroad track, you know.

I was raised in the church and raised, you know, just everything, and different morals, different values.

And we had two girls, and it caused conflict all of our married life.

And I think that God has used this because I think I've been humbled.

But I realize that by not respecting him enough, but, you know, I just want to confess that, you know,

I just haven't maybe respected him as much as I should, and the wife I should have been

so that my daughters would have the right relationship with

their husbands and stuff, you know, and I feel like I've done a great injustice to my daughters.

I so appreciate your being honest and humble enough to share that story, which in some respects

is not much different than a lot of other women in this room.
