Finding out you are normal

Finding out you are normal is quite a relief. So often we assume that the struggles we are having and the stress we are under, seem to be our burden to carry. However, there are so many others dealing with similar trials and tough times.

This became so apparent to me last evening, as we shared Testimonies in our worship service. It was as if the Lord spoke through each person and allowed the congregation to feel that we are NOT ALONE in our struggles. The biggest mistake we make is looking at others and only seeing the 'mask' on the outside. Hearing that God has worked through their Story reassures all of us that God can also be REAL in our story too.

When David spoke these words to the community, he was not shy to speak of what God had done during the tough times in the past.

"I have told all your people about your justice.
    I have not been afraid to speak out,
    as you, O Lord, well know.
¹⁰ I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart;
    I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
I have told everyone in the great assembly    of your unfailing love and faithfulness." - Psalm 40:9-10

Remember that every believer struggles from time to time. If you are feeling as if you are in tough place right now, hold on, because you have just discovered that you are Normal :)
