When Everyone Else Is Singing VICTORY IN JESUS - and You're Not.

I've said for years that would my wife enters a room, people have a theological conversation in their hit because she so visibly disabled when she wears her her prosthetic legs uncovered and she she cut is so exuberant, she's a beautiful woman go take a look@standingwithhope.com that's the ministry. She founded to her fellow amputees, but when she walks into a room, people think how can. How can this be how can a good and loving God allow the sort of thing that I've had this conversation was so me people that I know that it's a regular occurrence would when she approaches people and so some people try to go overboard and work that out themselves and and say well it must be because of this, it must be because of this I lay a firm boundary on the show about that.

I don't want people working out their doctrine on us as caregivers surround me and I will extend that to you will because I don't think we can know a lot of things, yes, sometimes stuff we deal with the self-inflicted most the stuff I feel like I've dealt with the self-inflicted. I most own worst enemy.

Sometimes, but we also have a Savior who understands this and and as far as I'm concerned it does no good to take the Bible into webinar Scripture to beat on other people somehow make us feel better about our own doctrine. I don't know why God allows these things, I really don't dirt there just things that it's not like someone he allows is why does intervene on some of it I don't have any doubt that God will heal grace can heal grace wants to heal Gracie, but for whatever reason, for whatever purposes that he has. He chooses to allow this and trusting him to heal, trusting an all-powerful good and loving God to heal my wife it to me, that is it really take a whole lot of faith. It takes a lot more faith to trust what he doesn't and that is that's where I lay it on this and so I've come through this for so many years with fellow caregivers who who have been brutalized by folks that are said you know 90 more to do with. I'm going to push hard to set up a boundary to give caregivers a place with a safe place where they can just breathe catch their breath taken me. You know will figure out some stuff and if there's things we gotta make amends for the things we have asked forgiveness for the things we have to work through will do that will do it together but I I am not going to stand by let other people come along who have no clue what it's like to watch somebody suffer and start you know slinging scriptures like there like there, you know the rocks and and and and pellets that people were shipped to get up close.

They do it like it's a it's a cudgel they just bludgeon people with that. That does not fly. I think there's places were Scripture certainly speaks to things we need to deal with things we deal with directly and forthrightly but but caregivers are so disoriented by what we deal with sometimes and I don't know how many of you will have watch somebody struggle with pain, intractable pain, hours and hours and hours day after day, day after day to see what that's like.

I don't know. I don't know is how many of you are done, but for those of us who have enough talk to enough of us who have it is. It is truly mindnumbing as the best word it it it it it that it's the wall of noise that attacks your heart and that is deafening. You can't step into somebody who was in that state and start just slinging scriptures at a been beat them over the head with. You've got to walking that with humility. You've got to walk into that with with tears in your own eyes and recognize that all of creation is groaning over this all of creation is groaning. Scripture says, knowing that it's going to be made right.

But it's not now and how do we function like this. How do we function day-to-day. How do we minister to somebody who is going through this kind of stuff. What does that look like and I know that some of you right now are struggling with it because you have been like that if you been so isolated by that you feel so ashamed of what's going on with you are embarrassed about it or somehow that everybody else's thing in victory in Jesus and you're not. I get that I get that. And so that's why I am so grateful of this show is available now because there is victory in Jesus. Even while you're doing the things that we as caregivers to there is this and when you are cleaning up barf for the umpteenth time out. I was talking to Sandy Rios, who most of you listen this station are familiar with and she told this disc moving story about taking care of her daughter with special needs and she get her all prettied up and enter here would be done and everything else will be just picture-perfect that she would just have a seizure throw up all over again. If you have to do it all over again.

She dipped his cleaner back up and do that whole thing again.

Nothing.

You know that's the gospel that's what our Savior does for us because how many of us are doing that on a regular basis, and yet he just continues to minister to us in that regards. Do you want to do what you want to tap into that inexhaustible love that he has for us. As you minister to your love that's what this show is all about is to help each of us walk into that so that we can be strong and healthy as we take care of someone who is not
