Title: Wanted to share something my dad once wrote (bulldogmikey)
Post by: amims5 on July 06, 2011, 09:07:22 AM

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

As I sit here this morning, I am so tired. There are times I am confused There are times I am afraid. There are times the pain is almost unbearable. I ask the question Why? I fight the human responses of anger, fear, despair. I throw myself an occasional pity party about all that I "cant" do. You see I am human. You will never meet a man more sure of his Divine Calling than I am. Not boastful but humbly recognizing that God chose me to be a special ambassador! But none the less I am human. But I seem to always get a tender touch of his hand, reminding me I am not alone. Oh I pray for healing, but I also pray that regardless, God be Glorified.
I shared this with you to let you know, we all struggle. I am not ashamed to share that. I would be if I didn't realize how much I am blessed. How much God loves me. That he has suffered far more than I ever have or will. John 16:33 is a source of comfort. "take heart! I have overcome the world!"
If you find yourself in one of my places, meditate on this verse and remember, you are not alone! Praise God Almighty!
