And yes, love is painful as we feel the loss, but it helps us become more human and to feel deeply. It humbles us and allows our hearts of stone to become hearts of flesh. It makes us stronger as we overcome evil and builds our character. It prevails above darkness and shines Jesus’ light. It is our most powerful weapon.

Provision
He takes care of us, whatever our situation. And he takes care of us in many ways; sometimes, He can use us to care for others, and in this case, we can take care of others by staying away and staying home.
Quarantine Day #5
So much change led me to see that one thing (Person) that doesn't change: 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.' Hebrews 13:8
Your present is not reality
'And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.' I Samuel 22:2

“I can’t see you in it”
Around two weeks ago, I saw a movie called "Testament of Youth" where the main character says this phrase: "I can't see you in it". She says this as a critique to a piece of writing she reads from someone she knows and is quite acquainted with because its words do not reflect this person. …
