Gabe looked at the passage from the second chapter of Titus and worked to accept what he knew God was saying to him. The little word “all” usually caught his attention when he was studying his Bible. It didn’t say he needed to be an example of good deeds in the things that were easy, but in all things. And if that wasn’t enough, Gabe knew there was to be no place for negative comments about his own character. I’ve been angry, Gabe confessed to the Lord. I haven’t wanted anything to stand in my way. I haven’t told Lily how I feel, but my anger toward her father is there, and it’s wrong. Help me, Lord. I can’t have this my way. It’s got to be Your way, even if it feels painful to me. Please help me to let go of this, and even Lily. Help me to see that if You want us together, You’ll make it happen. Gabe knew a peace after this confession and continued to search his heart for more hidden motives. It was time to let this go. It was time to come clean before God. Lily thought he was doing great.
