I have come to realise that all the challenges I have gone through in life are now being used as a witness to God's glory to give hope and encouragement to those who are experiencing those same challenges.
At present I am able to minister to our street people who generally have substance abuse problems, mental health problems etc. and even to lend them a listening ear helps them immensely because they become the despised of the community.
What better way is there than to be able to say "I understand".
