Chronic Joy® Creative Contributor and Writer
In time I realized that I was never going to fall off a cliff; in fact, I was never going to even move, because the very foundation of my life is built on a rock — the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, the Rock of Ages! So now, dear one, regardless of your affliction, I urge you to run to Him. You will not be disappointed.
Who knows how I really feel? I wish someone else could understand what I am going through! Chronically ill folks question who understands their grief.
If you were to visit the Land of Affliction for a day, I think the first thing you would notice is the pace. Everything moves much slower here. Many of us are using all of our energy just to figure out how to make it through the day. Over time I have become frustratingly aware of my weaknesses.
People with chronic illnesses and invisible diseases can simply be overlooked, so their suffering can easily slip your mind much like butterflies at night.
