I wanted to pass along something that a friend of mine shared on his CaringBridge site as he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for a brain tumor. I can take no credit for these powerful words...he received it from a friend, Barbara Cash in Charlotte, and it was sent to her by Mal McSwain (a former Young Life leader). My prayer is that anyone who reads this entry will remember Whose they are and find encouragement from these words. Blessings!
THE REST OF VICTORY
There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, to testing - that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the Throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of Who my Lord is. That is the rest of victory.
