Breakthrough: 3-Day Devotionalనమూనా
“If you need proof you’re on His mind, just look at my life”
My story is one marked by the pains of severe bullying and depression that pushed me to my breaking point and steered me to the edge of suicide. At 13, I felt completely helpless, hopeless and alone, sitting in my bedroom contemplating taking my own life.
In my moment of deep despair, God met me and used a song to save my life.
It was in a song
It was in a melody
It was in the words “you’re not alone”
At a time in my life when I felt completely alone and had to fight my own will to survive, God showed up and reminded me that He was always with me and that would never leave or forsake me. He flooded my lonely, sad heart with His abundant love and helped me realize that I am not worthless and I do have a purpose.
My story reminds me of one we read about in scripture - David and Goliath. David is confronted with the taunting voice of Goliath. For days, Goliath had defied God and His people on the battlefield, challenging someone to try to take him down. With five smooth stones and a sling, David takes down Goliath with just one swing. David’s bold move of bravery ensured Israel’s victory over the enemy.
In the same way God helped David destroy the enemy, He helped me overcome the enemies of depression, suicide and bullying. The shame that was so strong in my own life broke when I began to realize who God created me to be - a warrior. The hope that felt completely gone was restored in my life and now God allows me to use my own story to let others know that He sees them, they have value and they matter.
If you’re feeling broken with a bruised heart, God sees you, and just like He saved me, He will save you, too. Just like He did for me, Jesus will find you right where you are and put the beat back into your heart.
