I agree with the others who have said that having a committed partner is what has helped them through their illnesses/disabilities. I am a very different person today than I was before I met Master. I had been a complete and utter doormat in my first marriage. When I got out of it I was so emotionally numb that I wanted nothing at all to do with men. I didn't see them as the enemy. I just didn't see them at all. I had built a very high wall around myself, my heart and my emotions. Master very gently, yet very persistently began to break down that wall. I really believe that if He had not pursued me W/we would have never met, because I certainly would not have made the first move. Master has really helped me a lot in finding the way back to myself. He has always been there for me whenever I have needed Him. No one else has ever done that for me.
