Proverbs 24:26---An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
We may think we
cannot do many things when we are burdened down and in great pain. We may think
we have no choices. We may think there is no end to our plight. We may think we
cannot deal with things as they are. However, when we are in the deepest
darkness, we must be willing to admit we can be wrong and we must be willing to
admit we can be deceived. When we think we have no choice, we must be honest.
For when we have Christ alive within us, He gives us the power to do many
things we cannot normally do when we are burdened down. When we have Christ in
our life, our pain may not stop, but our victory over the pain can still be
achieved. When we have Christ in our life, we have many more choices than we
think we have if we are honest about how things are and what we have done and
not done. When we have Christ in our life, there is for us a great and
victorious end to our plight. In Christ, there are victories to be won every
minute. In Christ, there are triumphant moments every moment. In Christ, we
have won even when we seem to have been pounded down in utter defeat. In
Christ, the trials and heartaches of this life grow dim as we come to Him
seeking His healing love. In our life, there is more to life than the reality
of our trauma and tragedy. In our life, we have a mountain of Great Power where
we can go and kneel down in prayer. In our life, our mountain of Great Power is
a place called Calvary. On Calvary, a place where Christ suffered more than we
have suffered or will suffer, our victory over every moment of our trauma and
tragedy was won. On Calvary, Christ died to set us free forever.
