R Meadow Substack Highlights #8 - Highlighting Mike Cleveland
This week’s highlighted Substack writer is Mike Cleveland at Eternal Love Stories. Each post brings devotionals, encouragement, and a deeper look at life through Scripture passages.
From his profile: Mike Cleveland
“Retired pastor of 17 years, sharing stories filled with love, hope, and truth. Here you’ll find weekly chapters, devotionals, and reflections on life, faith, and storytelling.”
Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and take a moment to read Substack writer Mike Cleveland at Eternal Love Stories. Through Newsletters, restacks, comments, and replies, Mike has a growing community. I always walk away from his posts encouraged and with a seed or two for the life garden.
“And now, finally still, the parent leans over and begins to sing quietly, not to wake the child but simply because the love is too full to keep silent.”
“So when you wonder if God has forgotten you, look at the cross. When you question whether He sees your suffering, remember that He saw it so clearly He entered into it Himself. When you doubt whether He hears your prayers, remember that He heard the cry of His own Son and answered by raising Him from death.”
“When your strength fails, do what Elijah did: Be honest with God about your exhaustion. Accept His provision—the rest, the nourishment, the time you need to recover.”
“Grieve honestly. Cry deeply. Tell God exactly how you feel—He can handle it. Don’t pretend to be fine when you’re falling apart. Don’t let anyone rush you through this. Learn to thank people who want to offer help but whose words fall flat, or even offend.”
