PJ’s Veteran’s Day Sermon:
TO THE WARTIME VETERAN:
There is a saying that says, “The war is never over in the mind of the warrior”.
I sincerely believe that! When I returned from the war, I went “nuts” for 9 years. Life was difficult, as I experienced nightmares and daymares. I could not quiet my mind as visions of the unthinkable raced through my mind. Today, they call it Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD}.
I tried everything the world offered for help;
visits to the Psychiatrist, meds, alcohol, sex, and anything I thought would help. Sometimes I would pretend that it helped. In reality, nothing helped, nothing. I felt so alone, even in the midst of a crowd.
Now, if you are a Wartime Veteran, EMT, Police Officer, etc., that has “experienced the unthinkable”, reading this, please hear this truth and cognitively receive it, THERE IS HELP! Help is not in what the world offers, but rather in what God offers you.He offers you what you are really looking for, Healing and Peace.
The Lord says:
“For I will restore health unto thee, And I will HEAL thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD”. Jeremiah 30:17
“You will keep him in perfect PEACE; Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You”. Isaiah 26:3
Jesus says:
“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls”
Matthew 11: 28-2
How do you “Come unto Jesus”? Here is what worked for me. I simply prayed, “Jesus, if you are real, HELP”. And with that simple prayer, the help I was seeking began!
Thank you for your service. You’re not home yet, but with Jesus, one day you will be Home!
