"Jesus loves you and is with you, even in the broken places of your life."
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matt. 11:28-30)
Thank you for visiting Broken Rose Ministries. This ministry is the birthchild of Michele Soloway Sexton, bipolar survivor and author of several books to inspire and encourage others, including:
Thorns in the Rose, Michele's personal story about her battle with mental illness, alcoholism and addiction, and how God was with her, doing for her what she could not do for herself. Click here to read an excerpt, or click the Books link to view the other information available.
Michele also speaks to church bodies and women's groups, telling her story and encouraging them that "God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34) - that what He has done for her, He can also do for them. Whatever it is you are suffering from today, whether mental illness, addiction, an abusive relationship, or just the "thorns" of life, be encouraged that God's promises are - indeed - true!
Jesus said in John 16:33, "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." God never promised us a life without struggles, but He does offer His peace and comfort in the midst of those struggles.
| "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, Who comforteth us in
all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in
any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of
God." (2Cor.1:3,4) |
