“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (I Corinthians 15:55-58 NKJV)

I Was Homeless
I was homeless, living on the street, dirty and sinful, messed up and full on shame. Deserving this pain and hurt and feelings telling me death is my destiny because of the choices of my forefathers. But there was a man, completely God but completely flesh, he took the cross, he took my sin, my shame and my brokenness, he took my pain. I am no longer in captivity, no longer empty inside, but full of Him who bore my sorrow. No longer do I belong to the one who calls me worthless, but in Christ I am whole. My destiny no longer death but now life. No longer homeless, for through the gift of salvation I have been takin in by the one who loves, the one who cherishes.
