Healing from grief is a process we all must go through. Almost all of us have had to suffer the loss of a loved one. And as we age, we must deal with thoughts of our own mortality. One thing that has given me great peace in this area is hearing the testimonies of those who have had NDE’s (near death experiences).
You don’t owe the world an explanation of God’s plan and purpose for your life.
We struggle together. You are unique in your story, but not unique in your struggle. You are not alone.
There is a positive side to pain. To avoid pain is to avoid growth. To avoid growth is to avoid the possibility of transformation.
Strength comes through weakness. Strength is forged in the moments we feel the weakest.
We live the life of a farmer. Every thought, every word, and every deed is a seed sown into the garden of our future.
We often pray for strength, yet hope never to be placed in situations where strength is required. Strength only increases with use.
Fill the room with Christ. People who change the atmosphere when they enter a room can preach the gospel without saying a word.
Every perceived loss has two sides. The issue is never about the so-called loss. What matters is our perception of it.
Silence isn’t weakness. In a world filled with voices silence is the ultimate display of discipline.
Rejection teaches that your value is not dictated by the one who rejected you. They rejected you, yet you’re still valuable.
Real transformation is not couched in what you achieve. It’s found in who you become in the process.
There is a quiet dignity in your scars that no unbroken skin can relate to.
Loss is subjective. What we sometimes perceive as loss is simply God nudging us towards another doorway. One in which we would never approach on our own.
There is no failure. Every perceived failure is simply a season in which our next season of growth is being cultivated.
Your scars are a testament of battles fought and won. When you trace your scars, you are tracing the outlines of your strength.
You are who God says you are. You are not defined by what you’ve done, nor by what others have done to you. Only God can define who you are.
The obstacles in your path were not meant to destroy you. They were sent to reveal what’s inside of you.
