Why Not Me

Many of us suffer severe chronic pain, regrettably I am one... leftovers from 2 auto accidents where part of my spine was fractured and another left with bulging discs. This was written to remind me that I am not the first to suffer for what someone else did.
When pain is overwhelming

And I feel like giving up on life,

I am reminded of Jesus.

Not once did He ask, "Why me?"

When on the cross for me.

Instead I must ask, "Why not me?"

We are not promised an easy life

But an eternal one.
