When a crushing physical or emotional burden has weighed us down long enough, it can eventually rob us of all hope. The joy we once knew gets drowned out by a sense of despair, and the only prayer left in us is a desperate cry for God to make it stop. But true freedom is not merely relief from pain. It is a heart that has learned to love and worship God even when the circumstances refuse to change. The greatest miracle may not be a restored body, but a renewed perspective that treasures Him above every answered prayer.

Crucified With Christ
What is Paul saying when he says, “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”? Is this just his way of saying that his life is finished; that he’s a marked man; that the end is in sight? Or is he saying something much different; something radical; something revolutionary; something life changing; the essence of the Gospel?
