On Being 'Strong'...

     Periodically, we will hear of an, amazing story of a human-being, who, in the midst of some, sort of 'urgency', becomes capable of exhibiting SUPER-human strength. Take for example Lauren Kornacki, a 22-year-old Virginia woman who summoned some of her own superhero strength, due to an adrenaline-rush, to lift a BMW off her father, who became pinned under the car while trying to fix a blown tire on it. Not only this, but, Ms. Kornacki, who had recently taken a CPR course, was able to keep her Dad alive, after he was freed from under the, 3,300 lb. vehicle, while awaiting the EMT's. Imagine, such a feat, as that! However, even, greater, still, than the 'heroic' rescue, which saved Ms. Kornacki's father from the 'jaws of death', is Jesus' 'rescue' of us, from the 'clutches' of sin, through His death and resurrection. To believe, that, He died for us so that we could live a life, free from sin, if only we ask Him to forgive us, is 'challenging' for some; these, folks, who would choose, rather, to blame God for their life-struggles, or, forgo His existence, altogether. To acknowledge and accept the 'Truth' of Our Lord, and, His, great, sacrifice, takes a certain, amount of 'strength' from us, as well; for, it can be far, 'easier', sometimes, to have no faith, especially when life is cruel and unfair. Yet, throughout all things, God IS here for us, always, our, Savior...our, Hero...offering us AMAZING strength through His LOVE for us, and, saving our souls, through His existence IN us, when we believe.
