As  you stand on the bank of your red sea.

As you feel the pain of rejection ripping

You through and through.

As you are about to give up.....

Suddenly a likeness of Jesus appears

In the garden of Gethsemane...as He almost

Gave up....yet He surrendered all of Himself

To His Father's will and suffered beyond all

Human suffering.

Yes then He so lovingly says to you and me....

"I have overcome the world."

You shall overcome too."

As you face impossible situations be

Comforted in this fact....Jesus who lives

And reigns on the throne of your heart

Is contending with those who are contending

With you. It is He who carries you safely through

Bringing you out victoriously!

As you read these words, may renewed strength

And grace be yours!
