Maybe you are like me. Maybe you battle your doubts, your thoughts and your fears. Every.Single.Day. Old lies from the past sweep in and I have to battle. Battle the lies with the truth. It is exhausting and yet brings such joy!!
I used to try cope with alcohol and entertaining suicidal thoughts. It could not bring peace or hope or joy. It never will. BUT GOD....
God meets me where I am. He was there back then. He is here now. He will be there in the future. He sees me. He knows me. One day it will all be different. Just like that I will leave this place and I will go home. To Him.
That is where I find the joy in struggling well. That is where the hope lies. And although it is not Christmas this line has always meant so much to me.

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
