A Word from PJ
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;”
Psalms 34:17-19 NIV
This morning I’m reminded of many wonderful people that lost their battle with the struggles of life. The struggle of mental health issues are often misunderstood and overlooked by those that don’t suffer from it. I need everyone to know it’s so very real. If we continue to dismiss the people that deal with mental health issues they will end up losing the battle. The struggle doesn’t always look the same. People deal with this in many ways. I know many people don’t understand and even good intentioned people may dismiss this very real struggle.
If you are dealing with this issue, please know that God does love you and He does hear you. You are valuable and wanted. He wants you to let Him close to you. He wants to put back the pieces of your shattered life. You may think no one is listening to you, but I want you to know God hears you and is ready to heal you. Please cry out to Him in your struggle and let Him in. Fight like never before! Ask God to release the power of Holy Spirit to rescue you in the middle of your fight.
I LOVE YOU,
PJ

This week in June is a tough one for me. I used to be so crushed in spirit I'd avoid church on Mother's Day and Father's Day. Not so anymore.
We have a comforter and an advocate, may we never forget.
Great word today! We all need to be reminded of this often. We love you!
Thank you for a wonderful word of encouragement.
