On the Other Side of My Struggle: Poetry from the Heart Coretta L Taylor Jackson

Publisher Marketing: This book is about our struggles and battles that we face every day whether it be from past hurts, present dangers, fear or rejection; the list goes on. Our mind is the devil's playground. It is where he operates and there is no way we can avoid any of these things. Therefore our challenge is obeying God's word and trusting Him to guide and direct our steps knowing that He will bring us through victoriously. He is waiting for us at the finish line but we have the responsibility of walking by faith in what the word says. We must have belief in its ability to produce an effect and hope with the expectation of receiving in abundance the fruit thereof. My labour is not in vain if I do what He says is right. I will do this in spite of the sufferings that I am guaranteed to face because of my relationship with Jesus and the anointing that He has placed on my life; I will receive the prize for living a victorious life. If I suffer with Him, I will also reign with Him. I have no control over the behavior of others and how they treat and respond to me. The most control that anyone has over any relationship is in what they themselves do. I cannot control how you treat me but I can control how I treat and respond to you. I can't change my past or the things I've done or even the pain it caused but if from this day forth I live according to God's word and if I am careful to obey Him in all I do, Christ will change my future.
