Craig's Latest Inspirations
God made this day and gave us 24 hours, but it is up to us what to make of it; we can dedicate it to God, bring joy, and look for the miracles He is doing, or we can grumble and complain. There are no laws or ordinances that can take away our ability to make this the BEST day ever, so take a deep breath, go for a walk, and make a difference.
When times are difficult and we feel like we are barely “hanging on”—struggling with grief, depression, or anxiety—we need to remember that when Jesus is in our lives, HE is HOLDING US UP. These difficult times become lessons of our trust in Him and His Word, so today, instead of hanging on, feel His arms wrapped around you, knowing that He is allowing this for your growth and holiness.
When we turn to Jesus in times of struggle, we grow strong in **perseverance,** remembering Romans 5:3-5, which states that tribulation brings about perseverance, leading to proven character and hope that does not disappoint. We must surrender and realize how, as a world, we have turned away from Him, trusting that **this, too, shall pass,** and Jesus is in control.
As the holidays approach, those who have dealt with loss often experience deep grief, which has been described as “just LOVE with no place to go”—all the unspent love gathering in tears and a hollow chest. We need to turn that love around and give it out to our families, the poor, and the lonely, letting that love flow with our tears and paying it forward as we remember those we miss.
