It’s no disadvantage that I must endure— My platform—direct from His heart.”“You have a bright tomorrow, Though yesterday left wounds. It is these very scars He’ll use To grow His choicest blooms.”“But my ways are not God’s ways, And He knows best, you see, The sweetest song I ever sang Birthed through the pain in me.”One’s thoughts directly affect one’s emotions and actions.Therefore, the author includes the truth of Scripture to replace the lies and distortions of the enemy.
