There is benefit to putting ourselves in other’s places in life to understand where they are coming from and not expect others to think the same. I have been thinking about how others respond to the crisis of this pandemic.
If all a person has to look to for hope is science, medicine, and government, life right now would be very concerning. Science and medicine don’t seem to have all of the answers at this point. No matter what country a person lives in, some would be disillusioned by the government’s response. All of this would add up to the time we are living in now is one huge scary time.
So why am I at peace? I am in a few of the high risk categories. Why am I am peace?
It has nothing to do with me. It is all about who I am looking to in the midst of the pandemic and its consequences.
I am looking to Jesus.
Yes, I hope science and medicine come up with a cure that does not necessitate a vaccine that has not been thoroughly tested. Yes, I hope the government of my country gets its act together to provide help. But I am not looking to them for hope.
I am looking to Jesus.
Jesus promised in John 16:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
There have been pandemics and economic woes before. There has always been trouble in this world we live in. But Jesus has overcome it all. He faced the worst thing that can happen to us, DEATH, and defeated it for us.
My desire is to share my hope with others, be an encouragement to others, and pray for others.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

Amen. He is our hope. May we reflect His love, peace and hope to those around us.
Reflecting his love to others is so needed
Amen!!! I don’t not understand how people do life without Him..breaks my heart! If people would just give scripture a chance, reading it, they’d see just how undeniably real He is!! They’d feel hope like no other❤️
That is my prayer
Amen, my brother. With Jesus there is no need to fear.
Amen 🤗
Amen, God is with us during this time, and His peace and strength he gives to all of us
Yes he is
Very true.
🤗🤗🤗
He is our hope who has broken down every wall! He is way, the truth, and life! On days where I feel a lack of serenity I immediately go to Him asking Him to take all of me. He does not just want part, he wants all. Absolute surrender! There is hope in the distress of this pandemic. Miracles are still be worked in circles around my life daily. I just have to keep looking up, and keep on keeping on. He is so faithful to complete the work he started!
Jesus loves you and is with you 🤗
Amen. So true 🙏🏻🙌🏻

For sure, if we only had science to rely on, we’d be depressed all the time. Three are lots of good things going on out there, but with the negativity bias, we focus on the negative.. cheers to the good people, hard work, volunteers, givers, those who shed light and hope.. Nice article..
Thank you 🤗
Yes yes! Looking to Jesus our peace. What is life without Jesus?!! Thank God for science and all.. I don’t want to imagine a life without Jesus.
I don’t want to imagine it either
Excellent post! It’s like Peter walking on the water: he couldn’t do it but Jesus allowed him. When his focus was on his Savior, his steps were fine. When he focused on the things around him, he began to sink. And like Peter, and so many others, reminders like yours are great to hear 🙂
Thank you m6 friend 🤗🤗🤗
Jesus is indeed the stiller of our storms. Glad we have Him leading and guiding our paths. 🙌
I am glad too little sister 🤗
Smiles. That is great.💃
