9 Lessons From Social Distancing - Crossroads Christian Communications Inc.

“WE WERE
MADE FOR
THIS.”
-BRUXY CAVEY

BY MELINDA ESTABROOKS,
HOST & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF
SEE HEAR LOVE

Who knew that this quote would be more important than ever in these COVID-19 pandemic days.

As the days seem longer, uncertain and stressful for so many of us – as followers of Jesus, we were made for this…this kind of crisis, uncertainty, stress. Why?

Because the promises of God remind us over and over again that WE HAVE ALL THAT WE NEED to get through these very difficult circumstances. WE WERE MADE FOR THIS!

Isa 41:10 – Do Not fear for God is with us and will never leave us or forsake us.

2 Tim 1:7 – We have the spirit of Power, Love & Self Discipline to help us each day.

Phil 4:13 – We can do all things, because God gives us strength.

I’m learning A LOT of lessons through this time. Lessons about myself, my priorities and the way I live and interact with my family and neighbours. I think it’s important that even in crisis moments like this, we need to stop and pause and take a moment to listen and see the lessons we’re learning through these experiences.

So, I asked my See Hear Love team (Co-hosts and my editor), See Hear Love guests, donors and bloggers to send me the lessons THEY’RE learning through this unprecedented pandemic. I hope you will be encouraged by them:

“I’m learning where my real trust lies, and what idols we have put up in place of God without even realizing it! Trust of money, health, beauty, work… all things that aren’t bad but aren’t where we get our true hope and security in life. God is with us and the church is rising up to bring good news in a very bad situation.”

JOANNA LA FLEUR,
CO-HOST & BIBLE TEACHER

“We don’t need to go out to places all the time. We can just be home with family and enjoy our time together.”

SOPHIE ORME,
MELINDA’S 13-YEAR-OLD STEP-DAUGHTER

“I’m learning that God is who He says He is. A faithful provider.”

BROOKE NICHOLLS,
CO-HOST & JUNO-NOMINATED SINGER & SONGWRITER

“I’m reminded of how easy it is to grow fearful instead of remaining in God’s peace during times of uncertainty.”

MELANIE STEVENSON,
SEE HEAR LOVE BLOGGER & AUTHOR

“I’m learning that with each passing day, the time given to us is a gift. The posture that will help me get through this moment is surrender and prayer.”

CHERYL NEMBHARD,
CO-HOST & SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE

“God knew this would happen, He will provide, and even help us innovate as we trust Him. When everything inside us wants to hoard, God calls us to him, to give, share with our communities, and trust in His provision and love for us.”

RUTH THOROGOOD,
PHILANTHROPIST & BLOGGER

“I’m learning that The Church is resilient and creative and that God remains good.”

LISA PAK,
CO-HOST & DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT FOR FINISHING THE TASK WITH RICK WARREN

“In this time of lockdowns, quarantines, economic crisis and more, I have seen how much faith my friends have. I’ve learned just how resilient and resourceful we can be, as people and as God’s children.”

BECKA POWELL,
SEE HEAR LOVE EDITOR

“We have a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, LIVE that truth out daily!”

ANNE MIRANDA,
SEE HEAR LOVE GUEST & DIRECTOR OF WOMEN’S MINISTRY, THE VILLAGE CHURCH
