Thankful to God because:
My parents are both alive and well, as are my siblings.
Me and my siblings have such a great relationship. When they found out my sexuality and saw me at my worst, they told me that they had me and that they're willing to seek out and murder anyone who tries to harm me.
I am alive.
I have freedom, finally, from a relationship that took a lot out of me. My prayers have truly been answered.
I know how to pray. For myself, for my family, for my friends, and yes, even for my enemies. I know when to hold my tongue for a true man of God is filled with wisdom, and the scriptures say that a wise man remains silent. Do not speak if it does not pass any one of these gates: Is it true? / Is it necessary? / IS IT KIND?
I know who I am. And I am a true man of God. His child. His servant. All those who speak ill of me shall one day soon see my true worth, in Jesus's Mighty Name! And just like the mouths of the lions in the den Daniel was once in, He will shut them all up.
And I know there's a bright future ahead of me. Jeremiah 29:11.
Though still wounded, I am in the process of healing.
Finally, I know that if God is for me, then who is against me? All those who talk smack behind my back will soon have their time, and they must all be wary of what the Lord has in store for them.
Praise be to God and His righteousness! In Christ, I am a Conqueror! A Winner! 🙌🏻
