241-Use This Crisis Wisely

Fear activates. Over the Christmas break my son had a very serious health crisis. And we cried out to God. And God moved. My faith was increased and everyone who has heard the story was impacted to trust God more.    Have you ever heard, "There are no atheists in foxholes"? People want hope to grab onto. And when reason fails to give that hope, the power of God can come in to help people experience His love.   This is an opportunity to be an example to all who you know.    Don't be the victim who numbs your fear, but the leader who stands in faith.   Believe me I've been the former, but I am want us to stand up and encourage and pray and love those who are in fear right now.    As Jesus-followers, we are lucky to know that this earth is not the end. But how do we encourage and pray for our neighbors? How can you start now? You may have a lot more time on your hands. How can you start to encourage and help others even RIGHT NOW?   Encourage your spouse. Love them generously so they can do their best in the world right now. Prioritize peace in your home so the storm isn't ALSO raging in your home.   Sign up to my newsletter for more encouragement during this time: www.delightyourmarriage.com/present And you'll also get my 8 Tips to Stay Present in Intimacy    Love you and I'm praying for you, Belah
