Matt's video below is an abbreviated version of a man's testimony (his own) that echoes my own, in many ways. Take the time to listen.
I love what he says here about him recognizing that his faith could no longer be built on his shallow understanding of God, and subsequently, that it took suffering (no doubt suffering which even involved the church) for God to realign his understanding / secure himself faithfully to heaven - so to speak.
We look at Bible character after Bible character, and their stories are no different. When God desires to work within the life of a man, he'll do the necessary work within to ready him for that said work. And that's the antidote to insecurity. Experiencing God's restoration / sanctification via his grace cannot be written off. It is so personal. So intimate. So precise.
From then on, it's like your life is anchored to a concrete slab that's a mile deep.
