Dark Storm Clouds

We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

(2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV)

As a young girl and teenager, I had many dark storm clouds in my life. I am still confused about certain things—being a victim of multiple kinds of abuse perpetrated by people I trusted. I don’t see physical scars, but I DO feel them. They are alive and well.

As 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 above states, I have been hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. I admit I’m not recovered from the trauma; however, I have not been destroyed. Why? My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the relationship I have with Him! Blessings!
