Victory in Christ

Praise the Lord!!! The cloud of darkness was lifted as God triumphs once again. The past 2 weeks have really been tough as we were bombarded with problems one after another almost consecutively. This is also the first time I had to counsel some children in HVPV and perhaps for the first time, I kind of understood what my ex-colleague meant when she said that things can get emotionally draining in HVPV. I wasn't really emotionally drained but more like I didn't want to do some of the things like interrogation, scolding, digging out the truth etc; at least not so often and certainly not one after another.

I remembered my pastor once said, "Sometimes, it seems that evil has triumph and God does allow that in some situations. But those moments of darkness are shortlived because finally, God will show His glory and triumph once again." This reminds me of the darkness that seems to have won when Christ was crucified. But that seemingly triumph by the evil one was crushed when Christ rose from the dead in triumph, defeating the evil one resoundly. It is no wonder we can find peace and joy in the midst of tough times. That is because God triumphs finally and our victory is assured because of Him. Glory to God.
