Jesus Christ offers hope and freedom to those who will receive Him and allow Him to have control of their life. In coping with epilepsy, it is crucial for information to be shared and for us to allow those around us to support us. Our friends are individuals who are placed in our lives in order for us to be used in their life as well as in order for them to have an impact in our life.
The most difficult thing I had to do in suffering and dealing with my epilepsy is sitting down with those I love and care about and telling them I had epilepsy. I had to sit down and speak with them about what happens if I have one, what they will face if I have one while they are with me, what they need to do in response to it and to provide them the information they need in order to help get me through it but also to allow them to be able to manage it if they were with me when I had one.
A wide range of emotions can come with this when we consider having to tell someone about them. Emotions such as embarrassment, pride, fear, and a feeling of being less than others all run through your veins when you even contemplate telling others.
Perhaps your seizures are of such a frequency and severity that everyone around you knows anyway. However, for those of us who did not have them frequent enough where we could try to hide them from some of those we love, I want to stress the importance of telling those you are around and who love you and those you love about the seizures and enabling them to be empowered when the situation arises to help you and to deal with it themselves emotionally as well as obtaining you medical treatment if necessary.
However, Christ will set you free from your burdens of fear, embarrassment and pride if you allow Him to set you free. You see, when Christ sets you free from those then you are enabled to a greater degree to accept who you are and to begin to love yourself for who you are and what you are facing.
