Quote


"You can trust Christ when you have diabetes, you can trust him when you get diagnosed with breast cancer, you can trust him with your neuropathy, you can trust him with degenerative eye disease, you can trust him when you have kidney failure, you can trust him when massive bleeding takes over your brain because in the middle of it all, you know that Jesus has met the deepest need of your heart. You know that you have been cleansed of all your sin and have nothing to fear before him. And you know that when this body can’t take it any longer, you breathe your last breath, and your heart stops beating, you have no reason to worry because you have united your life with the man who conquered death, the only one who severed sin as the root of all suffering, and you say with Scripture, 'Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law, But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.'"  (Page 63-64)

Always a Victim

You are
Always a victim
Never at fault
Never part of the problem
Or the solution
Never to blame
Never involved in the mess
There you are
A damsel in distress
Standing on the sidelines
Innocent
Never willing to admit
That you were wrong
Or at fault
The blame must be cast on someone else
Because

You are always a victim
