Covid-19 | Faith Over FearSample

Rising From The Grave

Quarantines, lockdowns, and stay at home orders. They have forced millions of people to make unexpected changes to their plans. There is a lot happening all around us. We all feel the effects in more ways than one. Whether we are sick, a loved one is sick, we have cancelled plans or lost money - the pandemic has altered our lives. Our lives are changing and are somewhat held in limbo. Leslie Leyland Fields says you can embrace these changes with positivity.

It is okay to be sad. Mourn your lost plans. Even in the midst of sadness remember Jesus too saw great suffering, torture, and death - but He rose again. He went through something horrible, but from it came something beautiful. Although there may be suffering now, we can know that good things can still come out of it. Challenging times can provide opportunities to show family and friends Christ-like compassion. Reaching out to others to see how they are doing is one way you that good can come out of this unknown. This act might even lead to spiritual conversations.
