Listened to a GREAT podcast from JD Greear as I walked home from the doctor's office today. Two amazing statements really kicked me squarely in the pity party!
God does not always shield you from the storm, He allows you to go through the same things everyone else goes through so you can show them what hope from within the storm looks like, what it's like to experience the presence of God in the midst of the storm. Because demonstrating the presence of God in the storm is more powerful to them than calling to them from outside the storm.
It is easier to proclaim hope as a fellow traveler than it is to call people from a perch of safety.
Which podcast was that? I need to listen to it. Been going through some stuff lately.
ReplyDeleteIt's titled "And So We Came To Rome." If you click on the word "podcast" the link should take you right to it. Hope you're blessed by it Connie!
