It is a proclamation of accomplishment for someone or a group that has had the deck\u2013stacked against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a way of saying that \u201cdespite the length of the journey, despite the roughness of the road and despite the many stumbling blocks which have been thrown in our way, we have overcome and we have reached our goal. Now, it must be noted that the statement \u201cWe Made It,\u201d as I am using it in this context does not refer to an ultimate goal, nor does it refer to a permanent victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For as long as we are citizens of this world, as long as we are pilgrims passing thru this barren land, and as long as we are housed in these mortal bodies; every achievement is temporary and every victory is short-lived. The celebration only lasts for a short while, and in many instances, it is only the prelude to another struggle. Yet, in the words of the songwriter, we are encouraged by the fact that \u201cEach victory will help us, some or other to win.\u201d So even though the statement \u201cWe Made It\u201d has no permanency for us, it does, however, contain an element of encouragement, which says to us that the same grace, which brought us thus far on our journey, can be trusted to lead us into the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it must also be noted that there is a vast difference between saying, \u201cWe Made It\u201d and saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve Got It Made.\u201d You see, We\u2019ve Got It Made is a statement of self-sufficiency and arrogance, but \u201cWe Made It\u201d is an expression of humble jubilation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**********<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading Dr. Rocky Brown\u2019s article on scoopnewsusa.com.
