She began: "2020, what a year it’s been. Many people have suffered more this year than they ever have before.
"Many have wept over the loss of a loved one. Countless have lost their source of income. Depression and anxiety running rampant as the future remains uncertain.
"I have been pondering the reality of what has taken place this past year. It’s a year that has shaken not only the US but the entire world.
"How easy it is for us to place our confidence in health, finances, or even government."
Jinger continued: "I have been reminded more over the past year of the truth of God’s ultimate control over all things.
"Who could’ve predicted at the beginning of 2020 that it would’ve unfolded the way it did? And yet, none of what has taken place this past year is a surprise to God.
"He is still in control. He is still on His throne. His promises are still true.
"As Christians, we can rest in this reality—that no matter what hardship God allows to come our way, He is working it together for our good and His glory. (Romans 8:28)."
She added: "One truth that I want to consistently remind myself of this year is that, regardless of the circumstances, we CAN have perfect peace because our HOPE is in Heaven."
While many of Jinger's 1.4 million followers replied with nice comments, one person shared a screenshot of the post on Reddit and wrote alongside it: "Oh my god, SHUT UP!"
Many people were quick to comment on the thread and slam Jinger for her actions throughout the pandemic.

Another person added: "You guys won’t even mask. You are the problem!"
And a third wrote: "Shut 👏the 👏f**k 👏up! You have no right to open your uncovered mouths you hypocrites.
"Stop trying to sound ‘relatable’ (Man, how about that pandemic. Crazy time, amiright?! Can I get an amen?) . . you just sound like massive a**holes. Read the f**king room."
A fourth Reddit user simply wrote: "Liking them less and less."
And another person fumed: "I cannot stand these tone-deaf posts as of late. This year has been HORRIBLE for people, and honestly there's ways to write that while also demonstrating gratitude that doesn't come off so…douchey and cavalier."
