Nevertheless...

I’d like to share a quote from When the Heart Cries, by Cindy Woodsmall. (Warning: if you haven’t read When the Heart Cries, the following is a plot spoiler.)

As she stared through the window, a soft whisper crossed her soul.
Nevertheless.
It was an odd word coming to her at an odd time, but it kept circling through her mind, whispering hope.
Life hurt. Nevertheless, it was a gift worthy of honoring.
Nevertheless.
The word came stronger this time, immediately lifting her spirits and causing sprigs of new faith to grow.
Her infant had died. Nevertheless, Rachel was now with God.
Hannah’s relationship with Paul was over. Nevertheless, God’s strength would pull her through.
If everything ended with God, then those who were in Him had a good ending—eventually.
A deep warmth comforted her.

I believe this is a truth for every believer. Nevertheless, God. I also believe there are untold victories to be won all throughout life as we fight the good fight.
