Weaving in the account of our trip to the Love After Marriage workshop, Elaine and I shared how God uses our imperfections to demonstrate his perfection. When we leave our demons in the dark, they seem to have power over us. But when we get vulnerable and bring them to the light, we inevitably experience incredible restoration.
