Contrary to how organized and seemingly “perfect-looking” my feed is, truth is, I’ve recently experienced one of the biggest faith-testing days of my life. Let’s be real. Social media feeds are mostly curated. Reality doesn’t always look exactly the same.
My health has always been my “thorn in the flesh”. It’s tempting to say that I don’t deserve this. But who am I to complain about what GOD allows to happen to me? After all, I’m just a pot molded by my Maker. To say that “I love God” is easiest when things are easy. But when things get rough, it exposes us to our weakest selves. God’s grace is the only thing I can give credit for. I found myself asking God, “Lord, didn’t you say you love me?” many times over. And while the answer was not exactly the way I wanted, He had shown me His love in ways I could have never imagined.
I’m still completely overwhelmed even now and I’m taking my time to process things. I’ve experienced the love of my Savior the strongest when I was at my weakest. It’s my prayer that whoever is reading this, no matter what you’re going through right now, please remember that GOD is the only answer to our every need. Life is fleeting; life is short. We cannot waste it on things that won’t even matter at the end of our lives.
May you find healing, peace, joy, and love in Him. May His strength be made perfect in your weakness just as it did for me. And though I didn’t plan on sharing this on social media, I’m hoping that this little effort will give my God the glory that He deserves. It’s a very small effort compared to what He should receive but may the Lord honor this humble proclamation that comes from my heart! ![]()
