Grace here.
Jesus helped me overcome my struggles.
Have you ever felt like you were alone in your struggles? At one point in my life, I felt like that way 24/7. Growing up, I was always the happy, optimistic one. Then something changed. A time came where I felt like no one could understand how I was feeling. That I was feeling alone, afraid, and I needed answers for life’s disappointments. Why couldn’t I just open up and be myself?
But then slowly but surely, I discovered that I wasn’t alone.
I had always known God. As a Catholic Christian, I went to mass every Sunday and I knew He was there.
But it wasn’t until I underwent a serious struggles with mental illness, that I learned to depend on Him completely.
I turned to God for help and was welcomed with the most warmest of spiritual embraces. Many times, I felt a complete peace and wellness. I decided to totally immerse myself in knowing God.
I was so grateful that I was overcoming depression. My mom said that it was a miracle that I had recovered at the rate I had. I owe that all to God. During this journey, I learned many tips.
I most especially learned how to trust, and to just surrender all my problems to the cross.
Healing came for me, and it can come for you too. In a society plagued by depression, eating disorders, addiction, etc., we need to know more than ever what will truly help us, Who will help us.
Everyone has problems. Everyone needs God. In fact, I believe we were created to love and serve God and others.
But we need to put Him first.
God will pour out miracles on you if you just believe. I had to depend on Him daily. In fact, one of the keys to my healing was putting my relationship with God first in my life.
seeing others going through depression, prompted me to share the ways I had been healed.
I felt God calling me to start a business, Living Victorious with Grace, beginning with a Youtube channel. There, I post videos, inspired by the desire to teach others how to live victoriously through Christ. I then created products like t-shirts and hand designed journals, designed to inspire others to love God.
I love this quote by Mother Teresa:
“I am a little pencil in the hands of a writing God sending a love letter to the world.”
I want to help a hurting world know the God I know: a loving, wonderful Creator who knows all of our hurts, all that we have done wrong, and loves us anyway.
After all I have gone through, I am so grateful that I am alive and well today.
Through my story, I hope you know there is always hope. He is writing your story my friend. He is inviting you into a relationship with Him.
Will you take His hand?
