GOD IS SO GOOD --

     I CARRY A BURDEN of concern, but I AM ABLE TO CONQUER the concerns of life and death (cf. Rom. 8; Rev. 2:10).

    I AM WEAK, but especially then, I AM STRONG (Phil. 4:13; 2 Cor. 12:10).

     I MAY BE HATED, but especially then, I AM BLESSED AND I AM LOVED (Mt. 5:10-11; Mk. 13:13; Jn. 15:18; 1 Pet. 1:6-7, 4:14).

    I STUMBLE, but with Christ, I DO NOT FALL (Psa. 37:23-24; Rom. 3:10; James 3:2).

    I AM CHILDISH, but with His discipline, I WILL GROW (Heb. 12:5-9).

    I HUNGER AND THIRST, but I AM FILLED (Psa. 107: 8-9; Mt. 4:6; Lk. 1:53; Rev. 7:16).

    I SIN, but I CAN BE FORGIVEN ( 1 Jn. 1:8-9; Psa. 86:5; Mt. 6:14-15).

    I AM FOOLISH, but He offers me WISDOM (James 1:5).

    I MAY BECOME AFRAID, but I know I AM NEVER ALONE (Heb. 13:5).

    I SEE GREAT DARKNESS,  but I WALK IN THE WARMTH OF GOD'S LIGHT (1 John 1:6-7; Rom. 13:12).
