How Sin is Overcome—Romans 7

Do you love your wife and children? Do you feel sometimes that they doubt your love? Stop for a minute and examine, perhaps in a new way, how God feels when we second guess His love as the heavenly Father. It's for our own good that He shepherds us and shows us something better than our own way.
