This is my “I woke up like this” picture today.
Not glamorous at all. 🤣🤣🤣
Make-up still on. Make-up smeared. Hair is a hot mess, as is everything else.
Pain was higher all around last night and into this morning- physically, mentally, and emotionally.
But as a follow-up to my last post- how will I choose to respond?
Do I find comfort and security when pain isn’t present?
Do I find my comfort and security when my circumstances are where I want them to be? When people do what I want them to do? Etc.?
Those are not only out of my control, but after 10+ years of living with multiple chronic conditions and working through my own trauma, those kinds of answered prayers weren’t the greatest source of comfort and security.
The greatest healing, source and security was and is knowing what has already happened and what has already been done for me: Jesus giving His life for mine and experiencing all forms of pain for me, so I wouldn’t have to feel the full weight. And He did this knowing how many times I would turn to all other things on this Earth besides Him.
This truth, this love, this grace, this healing isn’t dependent on ANYTHING or ANYONE else because it’s already been done for me...it’s NEVER CHANGING...and NOTHING can separate me from it...only my unbelief.
And my unbelief is something I have control over.
My ultimate comfort, security and healing is found in the Love already given to me, and it is given to you as well, friend!
Will you take His hand, even if it’s reluctantly? All He needs is a mustard seed of faith. 💜🙏🏼👆🏼
