Coffee with Jesus

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.” –Mother Teresa

I don’t know if you have had an instance in your life that has caused you to feel shame, grief, or rejection or if there has ever been a time in your life when you’ve felt like no one could possibly understand what you were going through. But please know that you are not alone. The Enemy does such a wonderful job making us feel like we are the only ones, but that is not the truth. The truth is, God loves us—even in our brokenness. This is your invitation to join my conversations with God, to listen in on my moments as I look back at God’s faithfulness during my own struggles with past traumas, and the struggles I faced loving someone with addiction and depression. I want to let you know that God’s faithfulness is there for you too. He knows you and you are seen. —Marisa
