Rejoice and give thanks! He has given us great news! And it is by His grace we are saved!
There are always two things being said by any statement. The thing you think the other person needs to hear, and the truth. These cryptic double-meanings permeate everything in life.
It's amazing how subjective experience really is. How one can turn the arrows of defeat into the catalyst of action and success. It's uncanny. Those that believe they can, do. And those that don't, never will.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5 NIV
