24 JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 03 has heard and seen most of it by now? Absolutely! He has that, and he can stand up to it. Some time ago, my mother fell so badly that she needed an operation and after that a rehabilitation was underway that took time. She struggled with fatigue and aches, but slowly tried to get back to the health she had before the accident. Mom is my hero, she has never given up no matter what she has been through in her life, nor has she blamed her trials on God. On the contrary, in her faith in God, she has carried her whole family and herself in trust in God’s faithfulness. She has often said, “What would I have been, and how would I have coped if I had not had God?” In our conversations, which are sometimes about her relationship with God, she can openly tell us how she feels, and in those conversations there is room for everything from worries and doubts to genuine love and trust in God. What she doesn’t always know is that her faith - even when she can’t put her feelings into words - brings encouragement and hope to many she meets. When I called her the other day, she had taken out her guitar and was singing. She felt that now was the time to start getting back to what she was doing before the accident. Yesterday is over, today the Lord helps and now, well now she longs to clean her little balcony and plant her beloved flowers that she wants there. It says in the Bible that God is omnipresent, which means that He is closer to you than you think. When you can’t find words, when you have a hard time showing what you feel, let God be your sanctuary, just keep being with Him. God is not swayed by our preconceived notions of who He is, but He insists that He wants to help you. He is present, unshakable, and unchanged, and remains with you. It’s a promise that can be trusted
JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 03 25 no matter what you’ve been through, no matter how it feels right now, if illness affects your body, if war makes you anxious, if discouragement is taking over, or if life is at its peak. God is there, by your side. Show God what you feel, you don’t always have to find the right words!
