Emotional pain Quote by Lois Mowday Rabey

“How does immorality slip into a person's life who is experiencing great emotional pain? It does so in the form of relief. The adversary disguises it to look good and justified in the early stages. By the time it is seen as bad medicine, it is well into the system of the patient.” quote by Lois Mowday Rabey
