Amber is a teacher-turned-author who loves Jesus, her husband Ben, and granola. Growing up, Amber looked for faith-based mental health resources and found none. Today, she offers hope for young Christians struggling with mental illness that goes beyond simply reading their Bible and praying more (because you can love Jesus and still suffer from anxiety). You can download her faith and mental health resources for free to help you navigate books, podcasts, videos, and influencers through a faith lens. Visit her website at amberginter.com.
If you’re struggling to celebrate others today—whether out of jealousy, grief, or weariness, or if never-ending fatigue, chronic illness and pain, swirling anxious thoughts, or depression cloud your mind—I want to encourage you with two truths.
God’s love doesn’t fade, falter, or depend on what we can see or feel. Drawn by His unfailing kindness, we learn—often in quiet moments—that His everlasting love whispers truth to our hearts and holds us steady when everything else feels uncertain.
Contentment isn’t about appearance, approval, or perfection—it’s about knowing who we are in Christ. For years I chased identity in the wrong places, but God’s Word reminded me that I am chosen, loved, and enough. True freedom begins when we accept His truth and learn to love ourselves as He created us to be.
