I want to be consistent. I want to commit to the promise I made to myself before God. A promise to be vocal, and share my heart with the world despite the risk of persecution. My older sister nudges me to keep writing… even if my writings aren’t as positive, uplifting or motivating as I hoped. She said “it’s okay to share your pain with your audience. You’re giving them the opportunity to grow and heal with you. Keep trusting God and the people that are meant to be there will be.”
So, I’m here. I’m remembering the promise I made to myself before God to share my experiences with others. Should my life be a testimony, I pray that it testifies to God’s grace, mercy, and everlasting love for us. We are all sinners who have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. We may find ourselves being lied to and deceived by the thoughts programmed in our brains that say we are unlovable, unworthy, and irregular. God says otherwise. He says we are loved, we are worthy, and we are made perfect. Our creator chose us long before He created the earth. We are worthy, we do belong, and we have a home on earth as well as in Heaven. We are never alone even when we feel like we’re drowning in sorrows and bitterness. In Matthew 5:3-5, Jesus said:
“‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.’”
Matthew 5:3-5 NIV
