And don’t think it’s just dramatic people who are part of the crew. Nope, there are very non-emotive people who internally deal with this stuff too. Annnnnnd if I’m quite honest, there are more than just girls who stand on life’s edges saying things like, Goodbye cruel world, goodbye…
Jeremiah was a prophet back in the day who I empathetically connect with. His nickname given by theologians was Jeremiah the Weeping Prophet because he cried—correction—he wept over the state of his countrymen and the sin entrapping his world. He felt alone, ignored, and ostracized by those around him, but worst of all he had moments of inadequacy.
We all do. At one point or another, whether in ministry or domesticity, we stand on life’s ledge and think to ourselves, I just can’t do this anymore. I can’t go on. Jeremiah was fortunate enough to have God Almighty share a word of encouragement with him, but what about us of today? Has the AllOrNothingCrew gotten a spoken word from God?
Yes, yes we have.
Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church a word of encouragement that is applicable for us today! When I read it yesterday, I immediately wanted to share it with you. Why? Because I know I’m not the only ledge walker out there and sometimes we need a voice to pull us off the ledge and assure us it’s going to be alright. Because really, it’s going to be alright.
The one who calls you is faithful, He will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
What are you being called to? What are you being called from? Don’t worry! He who has called you will do it. 🙂 All in favor say aye…
Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody who actually is aware of what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know how you can bring an issue to gentle and make it important. Extra folks have to read this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant consider youre no more in style since you positively have the gift.
