“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 (NIV)
Possibility
A night dark with fear, raining tears, and anguish in the waiting blinded me to the possibility of mercy. But God…
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
Morning dawned begging for a miracle, spirits joined for one so small, and I wondered if hope was even imaginable. But God…
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2 (NIV)
Days blurred into weeks carrying within them moments of such knee-buckling weakness, the strength to carry on felt impossible. But God…
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
Months of conflicting emotions, seemingly incompatible, how is it possible there can be joy in such despair, peace in such heartache? But God…
“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.” John 16:33 (NIV)
Life can forever change in a moment and we’re thrust into a place we don’t want to be.Suddenly, it’s as if we’re drowning with no possibility of saving ourselves. And the truth is, try as we may, we can’t. But God…
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26
Time in the dark let me see me the Light. Being able to do nothing but pray led me to Hope. Weakness taught me about true Strength. The worst of days were intertwined with such blessing that Joy became real. But God…

Visiting today from Inspire Me Monday # 17
Thank you Paula! Hope you are well! I’m grateful to you for taking your time to pop in!
“But take heart, I have overcome the world.” What a comforting reminder. Even when we find ourselves in trouble, and life doesn’t make sense, it’s a win-win because He sits on the throne and His grace is there to help us in our time of need.
Yes Yvonne! A lesson learned in hardship, one we don’t want but that we so desperately need! Thank you for stopping in! I appreciate it greatly!
Life holds wrenching anguish
and such soul-searing pain,
that hope can be diminished;
can springtime come again?
Disease besets the innocent,
and cancer strikes at prime
of life to cruelly circumvent
the days that seemed sublime,
but know in this you’re not forsaken,
abandoned to a ghastly fate,
for decision once was taken
to open wide the Pearly gate
and release wild-water flood
of precious Love ’twas bought by Blood.
Just beautiful Andrew! Thank you so much for sharing your gift!
