The Answer to an Impossible Situation

Your situation may seem impossible at the moment and you may not see any immediate solutions. You may not have the answers, but know you’re not alone. There are a lot of people around you suffering from more adverse situations than you.

One young man, David Rothenberg, made it through an impossible situation. In an angry outburst, Rothenberg’s father poured kerosene over the young boy’s body and the entire room. He then lit the room and Rothenberg’s body on fire.

As a result, 95 percent of his body was covered with third-degree burns. The outlook was grim; an estimated five thousand operations would be needed for him to recover. Through it all, David remained full of hope for his future. At the tender age of seven he responded to his adversity with these words.

“I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I didn’t miss out on living! And that is wonderful enough for me.”

Rothenberg made it through his adversity and so can you. After all, you are alive. That fact is wonderful enough.
