“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”
Matthew 5:43-44
I hope you are encouraged knowing God brings comfort and peace and continues to pursue us with His redemptive love. I believe there is always a purpose to your pain, and God can use it for His glory. Your very own suffering can birth your ministry, vocation, and purpose. I pray you are encouraged and comforted, knowing God is always faithful and continues to pursue us with his redemptive love.
Love Them Anyway
“Do not miss the opportunity to learn wisdom from Jesus during your suffering.”

Mission
“Through our union with Christ, we too have been claimed by God as his own inheritance. Before we were even born, he gave us our destiny, that we would fulfill the plan of God, who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in his heart.” (Ephesians 1:11 TPT) I want to encourage everyone that your suffering, tribulation, or challenging circumstances can be part of God’s bigger purpose and plan for your life.
I hope you are encouraged to focus on Jesus when your faith is wavering. God can renew and transform our minds (Romans 12:2 NIV), to look at the world, trials, and people differently. God redeemed me from an unbeliever to a strong woman of God, birthed through suffering.
There is always a purpose to our pain, and God catches and remembers every tear. (Psalm 56:8 NLT) Challenge yourself to rest and listen to God to help restore your spirit. I pray this blog blesses you with God’s freedom, hope, and peace in this broken world.
