Welcome to ChasingMyCreator.com! This site is passionate about the topics of God and mental health and about blending those two topics together to provide you with tools to help you experience emotional freedom in every area of your life.
John 10:10 tells us that the thief (the enemy) comes to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus tells us that He has come so that we may have life and have it abundantly.
Abundant living is not about gaining material wealth or increasing your social status; it is about accessing what Jesus made available to us through the cross. Not only did Jesus make a way for us to have eternal fellowship with God the Father, but He also has given us the ability to have a relationship with God for the remainder of our days here on Earth.
Abundant living is about pursuing God on a daily basis to the point where His character continually flows in and through us. Galatians 5:22-23 states:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law" (NIV). Just as we would not offer something to our children that we could not provide, neither would God.
Our hearts were made for more than just existing. We were made for more than living our entire life being defeated by shame, guilt, anger, fear, anxiety and the many other emotions that rob us from experiencing all that God has in store for us.
Our ability to emotionally thrive is less about our external circumstances and more about our internal state. When you make Jesus Lord of your life, it is possible to have peace during times of uncertainty and joy amidst our sufferings.
ChasingMyCreator.com is dedicated to seeking God in every circumstance, from the pit of despair to the joyous mountain top and every step along the way. The content on this site addresses common areas of daily struggle and areas we often need daily reminders about. It is a great place to gain practical tools to help you flourish in your daily walk.
I pray that the material blesses you.
With much love,
Shelley Beam
