Life is full of pain, conflict, issues, and suffering. We all experience heartaches and face struggles in life, and sooner or later, we will go through life-shattering experiences. This page, this corner of my blog, is dedicated to any wrestling through my own pain and suffering, through the heartaches I see around me, and my attempt in uniting that with my faith and Jesus.
Every word here comes with a breathed prayer that somehow, all of this will lead me, and you, closer to Him.
Defeat is the word that’s been hammering through my brain lately. Friend, I need your help. Or maybe, you feel like that, too - then we need each other’s help. Come over here and join me as we look square into the eyes of this defeat.
Seashells on the shore are like us: a lot of us broken, not many whole. But despite the circumstances we are given in life, we want to leave a mark. We want to escape our pain and brokenness. That restoration can only be found in Jesus.
In this new year, as Christmas is over, I need to remember that Christmas was only the beginning. I want to remember that Jesus will always bring light to my darkness, and that darkness brought to light will always bring relief.
There is a light that let’s darkness disappear. It’s not always easy. But the hope of His light always makes our situations better. That is the wonder of Christmas.
There are days and times when the darkness within me seems to weight me down. Times, when life seems void of any light at all, where finding light seems impossible. But there is a light, which gives us hope. Even on those days.
Sometimes, we speak harsh words, quick words, painful words that leave us dumbfounded. Sometimes, words like these hurt us. Sometimes, we hurt others with words like these. But in the midst of such pain, we find hope in Jesus.
We live in a world of pain and war. It’s everywhere we look, and it’s heart-wrenching. I grief with this world, and with the many people that experience injustice. How much more will a God who loves us grieve for the things done to His children?
We are living in interesting times. During times like these, I sometimes wonder what God feels. Is He hurting? Is He angry? Is He smiling? Maybe, just maybe, all of the above? One thing I do know: He is in control!
On those desperate days, when anxiety overtakes, when I can barely get out of bed, I need to remember one thing: Jesus. It won't lift that heavy blanket, but it will give me perspective.
