"Lord forgive me when I whine.,.."

Romans 8:35-39

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord

Paul does not speak of being resolute in our peril, distress and tragedies.

But to remember that in all things we are conquerors.

We may not be able to reconstitute our bodies, or to change circumstances, but we can

overcome them

through the love of our Savior, Jesus...

who promised if we accept Him in our hearts, confess Him with out mouth,

and believe that God hath raised Him from the dead...

We will be saved.

John 10:10.....

Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities.

It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my    soul.                                                             

Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

"O Lord forgive me when I whine..."

Grant me courage to get back up

many..many times.

Show me the way in the darker hours

Fill me with Your Grace and power.

Allow me the joy..even mediocrity can bring

Create in me the clean

and yielding heart...

such that I can sing

with the birds in early morn.

Though tossed and torn

The scars of victory

should be worn

to speak to others

of the offer....a new start

in Christ Jesus.

   Amen
