Lemon

To refer back to Lemon's toast, also besides that the amazement to his strength in faith. I know people who call themselves atheists for things they have gone through or haven't gone through any less than Lemon has. This relates to my bible study of last week, of suffering. How God helps through suffering, also that Jesus carried the most suffering according to the bible. He died for us and died on a Cross some of the greatest suffering in this world. Yet besides that the suffering of many people through biblical history not just in new testament but in old testament. Yet this is a reference to Lemon who kept his faith even through the worst times and the good times, because from what i have learned he was a drug dealer was caught and went to prison and did rehab and became a great new person. Yet the fact that he had his faith through the hard times proves his strength. The thing that helps me think of what he went through.
Psalm 22:1-12
"For the leader; according to 'the deer of
dawn.' a psalm of David.
My God, My God, why have you abandoned
me?
Why so far from my call for help,
from my cries of anguish?
My God, I call by day, but you do not
answer;
by night, but I have no relief.
Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the glory of Israel.
In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted and you rescued them.
To you they cried out and they escaped;
in you they trusted and were not
disappointed.
But I am a worm, hardly human,
scorned by everyone, despised by the
people.
All who see me mock me;
scorned by everyone, despised by the
people.
All who seem mock me;
they curl their lips and jeer;
they shake their heads at me:
'You relied on the Lord-Let him deliver
you;
if he loves you, let him rescue you'
Yet you drew me forth from the womb,
made me safe at my mother's breast.
Upon you I was thrust from the womb;
since birth you are my God.
Do no stay far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help"
