Confidence in Christ

As someone who is a Christian, my ultimate purpose is to show other's the love of Christ and the gospel. As someone who has Tourette Syndrome, I have tics and anxiety that are with me every second of every day while I am in this fleshly body, but once I am dead and gone where will I go? That was a big question that I asked myself once I was saved. The answer lies in if I have put my faith and confidence in God and the sacrifice that he made through Christ on the cross. This action actually happened for me once I was saved and put my confidence in Christ. This confidence can help when the anxieties and tics seem to be at the worst and causes the most harm to emotionally and physically. I can not just walk away from myself when I get frustrated with my tics, other people can, and this is really difficult. This difficulty has led me sometimes to feel utterly alone without anyone to truly understand what I am going through. My faith and confidence in Christ, though, has shown me that God loves me to the point of dying for me and that I am not alone as long as my focus is on him, since he has already experienced life's hardship when he came to earth in the flesh and died. It is through this faith that I was shown that no matter how alone I do feel, that God is always there and never moving away. He is always a prayer away from me discussing the problems that I am going through and help me see the situation and life through his eyes and not mine. I would like to now share two videos that I have just recently found that are very inspiring (at the end of the post). One is of a girl named, Lena, who has TS and uses flash cards to help bring about the awareness and show her story about the acceptance of it. The other video is of a well known singer named, Jamie Grace, who also has TS and talks about her diagnosis as well as struggles living with TS. Besides these two both having TS, they are also both Christian and passionate about their faith and telling others about it. I hope you enjoy these and remember that even though TS or disabilities can be clearly seen in these fleshly bodies, we are eternal, and our faith should be in Christ if we are to have any hope for a life after death. Until next time, Take Care and God Bless!!
