disclaimer: i am not normally a fan

Typically, Christian skits really crawl under my skin. Kind of similar to the way hallmark cards, with an entire paragraph of someone else’s sentimental emotions typed onto some card stock with the only personalization being a handwritten signature underneath, do to me.

So I was hesistant to watch this. But knowing the sender (my mom), whom I highly respect in her discernment and faith, I succumbed. And 4 minutes in, was sobbing. Something about the fighting Jesus is doing to win our hearts. Another disclaimer: I AM NOT A CRYER. Ask Matthew. Ask my family. I think the Spirit is changing that though as he lets me start feeling again, instead of gritting my teeth and just surviving through a lot of pain and emotion.

If you have 5 minutes. Please watch. You may not resonate with it, but maybe some of you will. And be reminded of his fierce love for you this morning.
