Response:
Words have the power to tear hearts apart. They also have the power to mend broken relationships. Here is a verse that kindled the courage of a young mother who was suffering from back pain.
My Dear!
You are a warrior in life!
No afflictions dare challenge you to your face.
Instead, they threaten you from behind!
Look,
You are not faced with a frontal attack to the belly
But a sneak attack to your back!
Fortify your body,
Make a healthy diet you ally
And watch
Your back pain, back away soon!
