hold on. hold on, heart. hold on, daughter, son. stand fast
or sit. whatever you've got to do, do it.
I see you, continuing. I'm proud of you.
but more than that, He sees you.
and it may feel like He is silent; but He hears every cry of your heart, spoken and unspoken.
oh, please do not give up, do not give in.
I pray there is someone in your life to lean on and hug you and this dry season. I would if I could.
and I challenge you... press into Him. even if He seems far away. even if it seems scary.
He is never cold.
He is never distant.
only the enemy would tell you the lies that He is.
I know you believe in who He says He is; and I know you do not feel it now, here.
the two realities can exist at the same time.
I want you to be okay with that tension.
and know: this is not forever.
I don't know what it will look like, or when it will come,
but relief and light are coming
- whether it is in heaven, or tomorrow morning.
Christ's victory is just as true and powerful.
the enemy's grip was not enough to keep Him in the grave
and it is not strong enough to separate you from His love.
believe that.
and hold on.
