We don’t have to choose one version of ourselves…we’re allowed to be complicated…because that’s how God made us. Psalm 147:3 tells us that God heals the brokenhearted by His power and compassion…for He is the Lord our healer. (Exodus 15:26) So we can then embrace both… our emotional/physical pain and God’s healing power at the same time. Next, we can be scared, but yet strong. That’s because the Lord is our strength, and blessed are those whose strength is found in Him. (Psalm 140:7, Exodus 15:2, Psalm 84:5) So being scared is okay, “For it’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.” (Zechariah 4:6) Finally, we can be exhausted, but yet at peace. Jesus reassured us in John 16:33 that in Him we may find peace… and that same peace that passes all understanding is readily available to us… no matter what we’re currently going through.
