I see the weight you carry.
The questions you don't say out loud.
The part of you that wonders if you're doing life wrong.
You don't have to pretend here.
You don't have to prove anything.
I am NOT here to condemn you.
I am here to remind you of who you are and what you belong to.
Listen.
Those of you who feel fragile,
Tired,
Or uncertain,
You are not failing.
You are precious to heaven.
You are closer to grace than you realize.
Those who carry grief in their chest,
Who ache quietly while the world keeps moving,
You will not be left alone in your sorrow.
Comfort is already on the way.
Those who choose gentleness instead of hardness.
Those who don't bulldoze life or people to get ahead.
The world is safe in your hands.
You belong here.
Those who ache for things to be better,
Who hunger for justice,
Wholeness,
Fairness,
Honesty.
Your longing is holy.
It will be fulfilled.
Those who keep choosing mercy when they could close off or grow bitter,
You will feel my heart beating inside your own.
Those who tend their hearts,
Who keep them open instead of numb,
You will see God everywhere.
Those who make peace instead of escalating division,
Who mend rather than tear,
You look like children of my Father.
And when you are misunderstood,
Spoken about,
Dismissed,
Or judged simply for living aligned with love,
Do not think you are losing.
You are standing exactly where heaven stands.
You are light.
Not because you try hard to shine,
But because you were made from love itself.
Don't hide who you are.
Don't shrink your tenderness.
The world needs your warmth.
I'm not here to make faith heavier.
I'm here to bring you back to the heart of it.
When anger arises,
Remember,
Hearts bruise easily.
You matter more than being right.
Love matters more than winning.
When desire rises,
Don't shame yourself.
Honor the sacredness in you and in others.
Treat your body and your heart like something holy.
Because you are holy.
When you speak,
Speak truthfully.
Not to impress.
Not to control.
Just let your yes be yes.
Let your no be no.
Let your life be honest and steady.
And about your enemies.
I know this is hard,
But I am inviting you to something stronger than retaliation.
Something deeper than revenge.
Love that doesn't collapse.
Love that refuses to become what hurt it.
Love that stays open enough to heal the world.
Don't perform holiness like a mask.
Don't turn prayer into a performance.
Come to me quietly.
I already know.
I already understand.
Just be with me.
Let yourself be seen without fear.
Give because you care.
Pray because you are held.
Trust because you are not alone.
Believe.
Your worries,
I see them.
You replay conversations.
You plan and overplan.
You live tight in your chest.
But look at the birds.
They are cared for.
Look at the flowers.
They are clothed in beauty.
Do you see how deeply I care for you?
You don't have to live clenched.
Return to this moment.
Return to your breath.
Return to me.
I live deep in your soul.
Like a seed held deep within the plant.
I'm inside you.
And you are safe right here.
Here's a story.
Two people build homes.
One builds on shifting sand.
Image,
Status,
Perfection,
Control.
It looks impressive.
But when storms come,
And they always do,
Everything shakes.
The other builds on something steadier.
Truth,
Presence,
Compassion,
Integrity,
Love.
The storm still comes.
But that house stands.
Build your life there.
On what is real.
On what is kind.
On what is eternal.
Build on love.
Build on me.
I am not far from you.
Ever.
I am not disappointed in you.
I am here.
And I love you.
