God Hugs are the best! 😌💓❤️💓 #godhugs #christiansonthemighty #Faith #Hope #Love #encouragement

Just Sending Out Some Encouragement & Love and a reminder God is still in control even though we may have chaos in our temporary broken bodies here in our temporary homes. Stay strong in the Lord, keep the faith and the hope of Heaven with Him for eternity in your hearts Brethren. We are living in this world but we are not of this world we are just passing through walking each other home and one day He will heal us and we will have new healed, illness and pain free bodies for eternity. ❤️🛐💕

Elijah was suicidal.
Job wished he was never born.
David was depressed.
Moses was anxious.
Hannah was barren.
Paul was in prison.
Jacob was a cheater.
Peter had a temper.
David had an affair.
Noah got drunk.
Jonah ran away from God.
Paul was a murderer.
Gideon was insecure.
Miriam was a gossip.
Martha was a nervous wreck.
Thomas was a doubter.
Sarah was impatient.
Moses had a speech impediment.
Zaccheus was short.
Abraham was old.
Lazarus was dead.

But God set them free. He used their struggles and turned them into testimony.

God can turn your worst seasons around when you choose to worship Him in the middle of the storm. Turn your eyes upon Jesus and away from darkness. Choose life over death.

Worship is a choice.
You have to choose to worship despite feeling hopeless.
You have to choose to see God as bigger than your suffering.
Your worship magnifies God far above your present situation.

God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

Easter and Erythromelalgia: A True Story

Me: I'd really like to go to the Easter Vigil tonight.

Erythromelalgia: I bet you would.

Me: It starts at 6.

EM: Thanks for the tip.

Me. I think I'll be able to make it!

EM: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Me: Why are you laughing?

EM: Oh, you were serious?

Me: Yes, I was.

EM: Look, your feet are red, swollen, and burning already.

Me: Thanks for noticing.

EM: God understands if you can't make it.

Me: I know. But I want to go for me, for my spirit.

EM: At least you can live stream it.

Me: Thankfully.

Small Fiber Neuropathy: Can I watch too?

Me: Sure. Let's all log on and light a candle.

Are You Suffering?

Suffering. I read something a while ago about not using that word, and I've been thinking about it since. I completely agree that it isn't wise to use it indiscriminately to say something like, "They are suffering with _____." Maybe some people are, but others aren't. That's 100% true.

Of course, not everyone's experience of suffering is the same. It goes without saying that not suffering is perceived by others. And one person's might suffer when someone else in the same situation feels joy.

On the other hand, to avoid using the word risks minimizing someone's experience. For instance, I suffer from/with erythromelalgia. I just do. It causes pain, anguish, and fatigue. When I get a migraine, I'm suffering. If I were to suggest that I did not suffer, I would be lying.

That's not to say suffering is my only experience of EM. I don't always suffer, and sometimes I have mixed emotions even during my worst flares. Pain and suffering are not synonymous.

There are similar phrases that people use without thinking, like "confined to a wheelchair." When I use a wheelchair, I'm not confined to it. A wheelchair gives me mobility and access that I wouldn't otherwise have.

The word and idea of "suffering" is similar. I'll be much more aware of how to use and not use the word.

Major religious traditions recognize the role of suffering in our lives. It's even the First Noble Truth of the Buddha. "The reality of dukkha." During the next few days, Christians commemorate the suffering of Jesus on Good Friday.

What about you? Do you suffer? And what are your thoughts about using the word "suffering?" At minimum, suffering is complex. Thanks!

I want to remind someone today that God loves you so much. You are not a mistake. You are not too flawed. You are not too much. You are not too intense. You are not too complicated. You are not too emotional. You are not too shallow. You are not too selfish. You are not too broken. Your are not too far gone. You are not unworthy. You are not unlovable. You are not hopeless. You are not forgotten. You are not your failures. You are not your parents. You are not your relatives. You are not your friends. You are not your accomplishments. You are not your titles. You are not your career.

You are who God says you are.

Loved. Wanted. Chosen. Adored. Called. Seen. Known. Valued. Esteemed. Empowered. Sent.
