Nonetheless
Gamling: Too few have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor.
King Theoden: No. We cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.
This is the life of a disciple. Yes, our God reigns and He will be victorious over all things. Yes, we are more than conquers in Christ Jesus our Lord. Yes no weapon formed against us can prosper. But, most of the time we stand facing the cross and know that we must take it up and suffer and allow our life to slip into the ground and die. We resolve ourselves to the fact that we must loose our life to find it, we must die to live a transformed resurected life. We do feel hopeless when the heavens seemed to be closed, and all we see before us is utter impossibility. There is however always hope in the hopelessness. There is the resurection to come and we know that yes we will die, but we will fight in the battle nonetheless!
King Theoden: No. We cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.
