It is no small thing that you made it this far. God has a miraculous way of connecting like-hearted, like-minded people.

As you may know, I have a huge burden for those who see themselves as broken. I’m so sorry if this finds you in a time of deep hurting. In the midst of this season, I pray you cling to the hem of Jesus’ garment as opposed to any other counterfeit remedy.

It is easy to grab hold of quick fixes or the carrots so cleverly dangled by the enemy. But if you would take this sorrow you hold and give it to Jesus, I promise that He will lead you to the other side of your struggle. Gracefully. With Him as your strength and shelter, you will be able to look back with an unexplainable level of joy because you were able to overcome that which intended to take you down.

We must always ask ourselves if our choices are leading us to spiritual healing or to the deepening of our wounds. The Lord died, not only for your salvation, but also as an unwavering place for you to find love and guidance. Whatever the challenge, brokenness is not something we sort out easily on our own, even if it is self-inflicted. We need to draw near to the One who knows us best. 

I say all this, because I have found it to be true. With all that I have walked through, my ability to endure comes from Jesus and Jesus alone. Retreating from Him when there is struggle has only made me weaker, while drawing near has offered and upheld the enduring truth found in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

I pray you find countless ways to fill your heart and mind with Him. God’s Word, prayer, music, reading, and fellowship are remarkable tools He has provided to nourish us. Above all, the Bible is the primary place we meet with God. But, whatever the resource you use, of one thing I am certain… it is the Lord, through the power of His Holy Spirit, who is pointing you to Himself. His hand is outstretched. Will you grab hold?

I pray God’s grace and mercy abounds in your circumstances and you discover the fullness of His love… even when the rain is falling.

Lovingly,
