In today's online society, there is a lot to complain about and a lot of people to do it with. We've got our laundry list of what is wrong with today. And, amazingly, people sympathize! There are lots of people who understand the frustration of whatever it is that your going through. It's an amazing feeling to find other people who understand.
But on this online society we have an amazing troupe of people. These are the encourages. The people who are willing to be transparent. The people who share their struggles not for understanding, but to help us in our Christian walk.
I have been amazed by these warriors. Every time they post I am reminded that my problem are small in the hands of such a big God.
Ivy Rose shares her struggle with a chronic illness. She is transparent about the pain it causes and Christ honoring in the way she does it. I have been so inspired by her story, and encouraged by her cheerful spirit.
One of my friends has been extremely honest with me about her family struggles and has amazed me with her courage and trust in God.
Alicia Willis has shared about the pain of miscarrying her first daughter, Grace. Her faith and hope in God is amazingly powerful.
Guys, we are not all called to share our struggles online for everyone to see. But God does call us to share with others. These women's amazing story's and raw honest have changed me.
In this society online, they are making a difference.
In feeds full of small complaints, what if we rose up and shouted the truth. What if we so filled peoples ears with the truth that small complaints just wouldn't matter anymore?
