Topic: The Ultimate Victory

I know two people who are fulfilling what one could call "The Ultimate Victory." These two people were disabled in separate accidents when they were in the prime of their youth. One of these persons is paralyzed from the waist down, while the other is paralyzed from the neck down with only limited use of her hands. These people are achieving the "The Ultimate Victory" and doing the ultimate good our God calls each of us to do. These people have survived the fall of darkness in their life. Because of their accidents, they have worked for the betterment of others and lobby for the interests of those less fortunate. "The ultimate good" is the action we take when darkness falls. When we take an action adding to the hope and Light of God burning within others, we have not just overcome the darkness ourselves, we have defeated the darkness and achieved the ultimate victory in the life of others. This is not to say persons who have been afflicted by the darkness do not have bad moments, because they do. Sometimes there are many bad moments. However, the sum total of these bad moments in the life of persons who are afflicted need not drive out the Light of God burning within them. We keep the Light of God burning within our heart, mind, and soul by continual invitation of the Light to stay within us. For the more we hope, the more the Light has a chance to burn and fuel us onward. In practical terms, our outside circumstances may come against us, but we can rule over these circumstances when we have the Light and love of Christ inside of us.
