Her mother died when she was three. She suffered a terrible hip injury at nineteen that left her a cripple. Despite this downfall she found romance and looked forward to her wedding day with great excitement. He husband to be drowned the day before.

She could have muted her life with recrimination and cursed the God who gave her life. She chose to do otherwise. From her pain she began to write uplifting devotionals, thousands of them. Words that did not deny that destiny had smote her dreams but rather in admitting her vale of tears she was able to find spiritual rainbows.

And many of them were converted to hymns. And on the day she died her last words, not written but spoken with great fervor and without regret, rancor or fear were “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”

What will my last words be? And yours? And why?

So many…in their words…in their lives…have sought to find the truth that the challenge of adversity can make a soul to grow in such a way as nothing else.

Indeed, when you have finished reading the thoughts below…why not take out a piece of paper and write down your own thoughts on how adversity has treated you and how you have reacted to it.

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. DOROTHY THOMPSON

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21
