I'm not a 'victim' of anything. I'm the criminal. It's hard to bear sometimes..
It's so easy to get that 'victim' mentality when I begin to see He truly is in control of EVERYTHING. I should know, because often it feels so unfair. It is hard to bear, and the only thing that keeps me a little sane is the fact God is operating all according to His will, so it has to turn out good. I shouldn't blame Him, He did nothing wrong, and does everything right.
Luk 23:39 Now one of the hanged malefactors blasphemed Him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
Luk 23:40 Yet answering, the other one, rebuking him, averred, "Yet you are not fearing God, seeing that you are in the same judgment!"
Luk 23:41 And we, indeed, justly, for we are getting back the deserts of what we commit, yet this One commits nothing amiss."
Luk 23:42 And he said to Jesus, "Be reminded of me, Lord, whenever Thou mayest be coming in Thy kingdom."
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him,
"Verily, to you am I saying today, with Me shall you be in paradise."Some great day Dave........
