This was my late husband. I have PTSD and panic attacks and anxiety. He never, in the 42 years we were together, stepped out of any of those things mentioned in 1Cor 13:4-7. Thank you for sharing your story, it made me feel less alone and made me smile.
If you are waiting on God for Love with a partner Don’t make the mistake of allowing anyone to waste your time, If they don’t show commitment since the beginning get out of that relationship. Just wasted 3 yrs with someone that considered himself a man of God but I wouldn’t say that. One of God’s character in any man is commitment, respect for you and more importantly his ability to see the Value in you as a women of God if his not able to see that please move out of that relationship ASAP Is being three months of healing for me and couldn’t be more grateful God has showed his unconditional love, support and faithfulness,More important has showing me the value he sees in me as his daughter. I couldn’t be more grateful, thank you Jesus 🙏🏼💕
Thank you SO much, Shawn, for reminding me that I'm not "too much." I have pretty significant depression and anxiety myself, and if God can bring you a soul as patient as Jill, then surely He can help me find someone who can not just "handle" me, but choose to love me.
34:26 spoke to me. I didn’t think of it like that as in being selfish because it is true I was in so much pain I was only thinking of myself. Gives me so much hope. We pray but we need to pray together. ♥️
Pastor Shawn! Oof! Every time, every blessed time… Unnecessary backstory: I found your sermons in a dark time. I had been struggling with deep depression like I’d never known, anxiety I couldn’t control, impulse control issues, literally just felt like I was losing my mind…and I found YOUR ministry. Yes, all the others at Red Rocks Church do great, but it was your word that brought my light and hope. It was your story, your vulnerability, your passion that made me believe - no, it made me KNOW I’d see the other side of it…which I thought at times I’d take that opportunity in to my own hands and end it too. “Pastors just don’t preach that stuff.” I thought. “They can’t understand, their words are great, but they can’t know this pain and love the Lord. I must be doing something wrong.” Thank you for this message. Thank you also for your vulnerability and ability to be human in your experience AND love the Lord in a way that just bleeds hope. This message… I’ve been a single mom for 11 years, never married; want to be. Thought for sure your first shout out was going to be to the divorced, but it wasn’t. Thank you for including me, and the other “me”s out there. I’m used to feeling like the “second class” Christian for a few reasons, but it’s heavy on my heart to find a spouse, the one God has for me. I don’t want to be a “single mom” anymore. I want to build to a place of worthiness, the place He has planned for me to be ready for that person…and it’s messages like this one that I think lay that foundation, make me feel one step closer to His promise. I needed this. Your message gave me the pep I needed tonight. It spoke to my soul, as it often does… Thank you for trusting your calling and sharing your light. Good word. -Rando lady who’s equally inspired and proud of you and your journey.
“Love is not a feeling. It’s a choice.” Wow yes I’ll remember that for a long time now! I also think the same because love is way too big of a thing to say it’s something as simple as a feeling. I hope i make the right choice when God shows me to.
I really needed this! Thank you Pastor Shawn! I went through same stuff but did it alone..Terrible up bringing.... panic attacks, anxiety..Thank you for the God filled message.
