Many of us are going through really challenging times. I see you. I love you. It is okay to be broken. Healing comes into that broken place and creates a new beautiful, deeper level of beauty. We have not inherited our heavenly bodies yet, but freedom has been made for us through Jesus. So, it is okay to be broken. Remember, broken can be fixed. My dear sweet friend. Show yourself some grace. Show yourself some compassion. Do not give up. Do not stop. YOU ARE ENOUGH. I am enough.
"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:3-8
Let's be honest, no one really celebrates difficult times. But We can have peace in them. We can have hope knowing something good can come from it. We can push through knowing better things are ahead. We can take the opportunity for personal growth, and it makes us stronger.
"So, you've been knocked down. Are you going to stay down? It's time to get back up."
I love you friends!! I'm always here for you.
