The story of the fictional character “Blade” is somewhat of a tragedy. He had an unfortunate past, ridden with negative experiences, and ended up a lonely and unhappy vampire. Ouch. It’s true that, like Blade, our pasts and illnesses can become our identity. We refuse to overcome or persevere and end up stuck in a hopeless cycle. But do you want healing? Do you want to experience the wholeness and hope that comes from knowing Jesus? God has a plan for your future, no matter what your past looks like!
