Even Jesus Wept...

When my son was sick with sensory reactive issues and chaos encircled our home, I indulged in my emotions often. I was also reactive. I allowed my overwhelm to take over at times and get the best of me in the moment through anger, frustration, desperation, self-pity and sorrow. I understand how draining dealing with the SPD behaviors/reactions can be. It lead me to weariness more often than not before I learned what God's truth was for our life. 

Feel your feelings momentarily. Even Jesus wept. But don't indulge. 

What does that mean? That means don't linger there. Don't spend days in sorrow and self-pity, wallowing. That only gives more fuel to the enemy. And trust me, he will use it against you and your family and work to create a spiraling vortex downward and away from the Lord. 

Instead, BELIEVE! Put on worship music. Listen to an encouraging message. Get out your favorite scripture note cards or spend some time in your bible finding the PROMISES of the Lord. Realize that better things are coming! This is only temporary! Lazarus was raised from the dead. Jesus wept. And then he got up, commanded the people to open the grave, roll the stone away, remove the grave clothes and welcome LIFE! 

Health, Healing and Wholeness BELONG TO YOU and your child. Jesus paid for sickness and disease on the cross! Receive that joyful news and laugh until those tears disappear. Celebrate! Life is coming.
