🌿When we are dealing with depression or trauma or anxiety or any myriad of other heart-crushing circumstances, what we KNOW often doesn’t match up with what we FEEL.
 
🌿God is good. As Christians we know that fact in the depths of our being. But our feelings sometimes only communicate the truth of our hurt rather than the truth of our hope.
 
🌿In those times we must make the intentional CHOICE to trust past our feelings, anchoring our expectation on who God has promised to be for all eternity, rather than on the temporal, but excruciating pain.
 
🌿 I’ve been in the mire with you. I’ve felt that hurt. I’ve felt the fear. I’ve felt the nothingness. And God was good. He IS good. And He brought me through that bitter sovereignty, just as He’s promised to do for you. We can trust the truth of who God says He is, even when, ESPECIALLY when we do not FEEL it.
