Not about Coronavirus
This is not where you will find my personal opinions about covid-19, though, if you ask I will tell you.
But y’all, this is where you will find encouragement.
I am one who has struggled with fear/lack of control but I have found solace in the God of the Bible.
I do not serve a God of fear but He says His perfect love casts out fear. Like, Paul this does not mean that fear will stop being a struggle because I trust a trustworthy God. Rather, when I do fear or when I do struggle with other sins I have someone to turn to who will not leave me, never stop loving me, provide me with peace that the world cannot.
God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good. If you worry, consider yourself fearful, struggle with compassion toward others, give into anger, or believe you’re not enough let me introduce you to Jesus.
As someone who has and still does struggle with various heart issues, I have seen the Lord change me inside and out. I used to be someone who threw things, cussed a person out for disagreeing or not understanding my perspective. I used to be a person filled with shame. I was consumed by self-hatred. I was overwhelmed by fear of the unknown and wanted control over everything.
Just in my life alone: I do not carry shame about my past sexual abuse, I am able to let go of control, my explosive anger has been few and far, and I love myself much more than I used to.
I am not perfect but my God is. Thankfully, He promises healing. He promises a purpose.
But even more, God promises an eternity of peace, a lifetime of happiness, no sickness, no suffering. God, the creator of the universe, the creator of you and me. And He will wait for you. He loves you.
Sometimes, it was hard to believe His love for me when I didn’t have others in my life showing me the love I needed. So in addition to His love, I love you. It’s not the same, it’s not nearly as good but if you struggle with anything and do not believe in the God that I have seen change my own life, I am here. I cannot provide you with peace but I can provide a listening ear.
You are not alone in your struggles, your panic, your strife.
