I am loving all the progress our world has made in $I am loving all the progress our world has made in terms of mental health awareness, destigmatization of disorders, normalization of pursuing therapy, medication, and so on. Such GOOD things are happening! But I do want to highlight something I’ve been thinking about. As believers, what is our end goal as we pursue and explore knowing our mental health better? Is it simply to understand ourselves at a deeper level? To feel more __(fill in the blank)__ or to feel less __(fill in the blank)__? What things motivate our mental health exploration? Over the years I’ve felt more and more convinced that the freedom we experience in Christ doesn’t just stop at our spiritual selves. Our minds also experience more freedom. God has graciously designed and created brilliant scientific advancements through doctors, therapists and pharmacists to help us manage our broken bodies well this side of heaven. And as we grow in understanding our own mental health, I deeply believe we become freer and more capable to love others similarly to how Jesus loves us. He gives of himself to us - the same “us” whose sin pushed a crown of thorns on his head, thrust him up onto a cross, and left him there to die the most excruciating death. He first loved us, and then gave 100% of himself to friends and enemies alike. As we pursue understanding and healing with our mental health, I truly believe we become less fractured. More whole. More present. More able to love those around us. To give of ourselves to others. We become stronger and more capable of walking this life with intention and purpose, all for His glory. So do we pursue all these things simply to know ourselves better? By no means. It never ends just there. As believers, we also pursue our mental health to become freer to love others as he created us to. ❤️ #mentalhealthawareness #jesussaves #healingmatters #smashingstigma #ocd #adhd #cyclothymia #youarenotalone #ocdawareness #livingwithocd #ocdsupport #ocdisnotanadjective #adhdawareness #livingwithadhd #adhdisnotanadjective #cylothymiaawareness #livingwithcyclothymia #bipolar #bipolar1 #bipolar2 #anxietydisorder #anxiety #stopthestigma #mentalhealthadvocate$
