Was having a really rough week and saw this.

How promising it is to know that this trial is all a part of His plan!

If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! — Matthew 7:11

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. — James 1:12

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. — Romans 5:3-5

Having pride in a relationship is rough because once you’re stuck in your own ego, it’s terrible to have to go low for anyone, it’s almost embarrassing why because when you have pride, your approach is less about you loving them and more about what you think you deserve from them.

The Gospel says we don’t deserve anything good for the life we have lived. But Jesus was good to us anyway. So why would be put pressure on expecting someone we say we love to be what we need, when Jesus is all we need to be okay?

Friendly reminder that you are not a bad person for not reading or watching the news. For not following every single event that happens. It can be so overwhelming and it is okay to step away from it. Some of us are fighting our own little wars, putting out our own little fires, trying to solve our own little crisises. I know you might feel horrible and selfish, but I promise you that you are not. So many bad things are currently happening and it can make you feel helpless, sad, anxious and as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but you cannot carry it; it is absolutely okay to distance yourself from that in order to take care of your mental health. It does not mean that you do not care about others and their misery. I know that. You know that. And that is all that matters, my love.

maybe if we, as a society, spent more time in gardens things wouldn’t be like this

I am okay with my small life. I will try to love with my whole heart, I will try to be kind. I am okay with my small life.
