The Cosmic and the Personal: A Reflection on Divine Love

In the vastness of our universe, where galaxies spin in an eternal dance and stars burn with unimaginable intensity, it's easy to feel small and insignificant. Yet, these lyrics remind us of a profound truth that has the power to transform our perspective on life's challenges, especially in the face of PNES and its daily struggles.

"The very same God

That spins things in orbit

Runs to the weary

The worn and the weak"

These words paint a picture of a divine force that is simultaneously cosmic in scale and intimately personal. It's a reminder that the power that keeps planets in their orbits and stars burning bright is the same power that sees our individual struggles and responds with compassion.

In our journey with PNES, there are days when we feel weary, worn, and weak. The unpredictability of seizures, the misunderstandings from others, and the constant battle can leave us feeling depleted. But this verse assures us that we are seen in our struggle. The Creator of the universe is not distant or indifferent but runs towards us in our moments of need.

 

"And the same gentle hands

That hold me when I'm broken

They conquer death to bring me victory"

There's a beautiful paradox here – hands gentle enough to comfort us in our brokenness, yet powerful enough to overcome death itself. This speaks to the multifaceted nature of divine love and support. In our darkest moments, when PNES leaves us feeling broken and defeated, we're reminded that we're held by a love that is both tender and triumphant.

This can give us hope on days when victory seems impossible. The same power that can conquer death is at work in our lives, bringing healing, resilience, and ultimately, victory over the challenges we face.

"Now I know my redeemer lives

I know my redeemer lives"

In a condition like PNES, where so much feels uncertain, having something we can know with certainty becomes incredibly valuable. This declaration of faith isn't just about religious belief; it's about having an anchor point in the storm of uncertainty. It's about holding onto hope even when our circumstances seem hopeless.

"Let all creation testify

Let this life within me cry

I know my redeemer"

This final stanza is a call to action – to let our lives bear witness to the hope and strength we've found. In the context of our journey with PNES, it's an invitation to share our story, to let our resilience in the face of adversity be a testament to the strength we've discovered within ourselves and through our faith.

1. Perspective in Struggle: When PNES feels overwhelming, remember that the same force that orders the universe is intimately aware of our struggle. We are not forgotten or insignificant.
2. Comfort in Pain: In moments of physical or emotional pain, visualize being held by hands that are both gentle and strong. Allow yourself to be comforted.
3. Hope for Victory: Even on the hardest days, hold onto the belief that victory is possible. The power that conquers death is at work in our lives.
4. Finding Certainty: In the unpredictability of PNES, anchor yourself in what you know to be true – whether that's your faith, the love of family, or your own inner strength.
5. Sharing Our Story: Don't be afraid to let your life testify to your journey. Share your struggles and your triumphs. Your story could be the hope someone else needs.

In embracing these truths, we find a profound source of strength and comfort. We are reminded that even in our darkest moments, we are loved, supported, and never truly alone. This perspective can transform how we face each day with PNES, filling us with hope and the courage to keep moving forward.
