Not So Tough Now, Are Ya?

When I was younger and much dumber, I used to enjoy being thought of as a tough guy. I looked the part and even played the part pretty well. Then I found God.... well, He found me. That's when He opened my eyes and I saw that being tough wasn't important at all. Being strong in my faith in the Lord was everything, though.There were men in my life that I looked up to. Godly men! I found that I no longer wanted to play the tough guy at all, but the good guy. I wanted others to look at me the way that I looked up to these men. I prayed that the good Lord would soften my heart and He did. I continue to pray that my life has been a testimony that God is proud of. I'm far from perfect, but I know that as long as the Lord has His way, I will continue to be a work in progress. Thank you Lord for never giving up on me, even when I've felt like giving up on myself!
