My Brothers and sisters in Christ, I am here today, not because of anything good that I have done, but because of God’s mercy and grace. How about you?

I have been through fiery trials, I have walked in dark places, I have suffered want and need, I have been down-trodden and distressed, I have been tested and tried, my enemies confront me from every side; but Lord, I am still here. (Excerpt from PFEL)
