Sometimes, it’s heartbreaking to realize that the people who should see you most clearly—your family, your closest friends, or anyone closest to your heart—don’t always recognize your good side. It’s painful when you feel like the version of yourself that they know is shaped by misunderstandings, unhealed wounds, or circumstances that brought out your defenses rather than your strengths. What’s worse is when you know deep down that it’s not entirely their fault or yours, but a result of the toxicity that has shaped your interactions. You didn’t respond in ways that reflected your best self, and they didn’t create the space for that side of you to shine.
It’s a heavy weight to carry—to feel unseen or misunderstood by the people you long to be closest to. You wonder, “Do they even know the real me? The one who’s trying, who’s kind, who’s capable of so much love and goodness?” Instead, all they seem to see are the cracks, the flaws magnified by the cycles of pain that no one seems able to break.
Healing in a space like this is not easy. You might wrestle with the idea of forgiveness—not necessarily for them, but for yourself. For the times you reacted in ways you’re not proud of. For the parts of yourself you had to hide to survive. And for the love you gave that wasn’t always returned in the way you needed.
But in the midst of this ache, there is a deeper truth—God sees you.
He sees the corners of your heart that no one else has noticed. He knows the parts of you you’ve had to hide and the moments when you’ve felt too broken to be worthy of love. He knows every flaw, every mistake, every sharp word you regret—and still, He calls you His.
Where others see your weakness, God sees your potential. Where others hold on to your failures, God remembers your efforts. And where others fail to love you fully, God loves you perfectly. Not because you’ve earned it, but because He is love, and you are His child.
So even if they never acknowledge your growth, even if they never see the goodness in you that others do—God already has. He saw it before you even realized it was there. And that means your worth isn’t dependent on their recognition. It’s already secured in Him.
You don’t have to exhaust yourself trying to prove that you’re enough. You don’t need to carry the burden of constantly explaining yourself, hoping they’ll finally understand. Because God already understands. And His opinion of you will never change.
Let that truth sink in—you are fully known and fully loved. Not in spite of your flaws, but including them. He doesn’t love the “perfect” version of you; He loves the real you—the one who’s still healing, still growing, and still learning how to rise after falling.
So don’t let the world’s inability to see your light make you doubt that it’s there. God placed that light in you. And no amount of misunderstanding or rejection can put it out.
Keep shining, not to prove yourself, but because you were made to shine. Keep growing, not to earn love, but because you are already deeply loved.
And most of all, rest in this: The One who knows you best loves you most. And that is more than enough.

Finding Faith in the Darkest Moments
The thing about God is that He always shows up—especially when it feels like there’s no way out. When you’re pinned against the wall. When all seems lost. When hope feels like it’s gone.
In the darkest moments, the toughest seasons, and the times when you feel like you have nothing left to give—God shows up.
He showed up for Daniel in the lion’s den. He showed up in the fiery furnace. He showed up at the Red Sea. He showed up to heal the sick. He showed up on Resurrection Sunday.
And He will show up for you.
In those moments when you feel like you can’t go any further—when the weight of it all feels unbearable—God hears you. He knows your heart. He knows your pain. And He doesn’t leave you. He never planned to abandon you.
So when you’re ready to give up, when the tears won’t stop, when you’re ready to throw in the towel… keep going. Keep trusting. Keep praying. Keep lifting your hands. Keep looking for Him.
Because He hasn’t forgotten you. He never has, and He never will.
I know it’s hard to see Him in the middle of the storm. Sometimes, the storm feels so overwhelming that it’s all you can see. But even when it’s hard to see God working, He’s there. Faith doesn’t mean you always see the next step—it means you trust He’s guiding you, even in the dark.
The world tells us, “Seeing is believing.” But with God, there’s something extraordinary about trusting Him when everything feels uncertain. There’s power in stepping out in faith when you have nothing left.
Never lose faith in who God is. Look back at His track record. Not once has He failed. Not once has He left anyone to fend for themselves. Not once has He said, “You’re on your own. Figure it out.”
Our God is a God of big miracles and kept promises.
So stand firm in your faith—even in the darkest hour. Trust that whatever you’re going through, God is already working it out.
He will show up. He always does.

Be Strong and Persevere A Powerful Message from 2 Chronicles 15:7
Brothers and sisters, today I want to encourage you with a powerful message from 2 Chronicles 15:7. The Lord speaks to us, saying, 'Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.' In this verse, we find a call to resilience and perseverance. In the face of trials and challenges, God urges us to be strong. He knows the burdens we carry, the battles we fight, and the weariness that can creep into our souls. Yet, He tells us not to let our hands grow weak. Stand strong, keep your hands steady, and trust in His promise. Let this verse be your anchor. Be strong, let not your hands be weak, for God is faithful, and your work will be rewarded. Amen.

Never forget the power of your God.
We’ve all been in those situations that feel impossible—the kind that seems like it’ll never end, like it’s going to crush you, and you don’t know if you’ll ever recover. The situations where you have no idea what to do, and the outcome feels uncertain and overwhelming.
When I think about those moments, I think about Moses and the Israelites. They were finally free, leaving Egypt behind, running from everything they’d ever known. But just when they thought they might escape, they found themselves backed up to the Red Sea with nowhere to go. And right there, on the horizon, came the Egyptian army. It says in Exodus that they “feared greatly” as they watched the Egyptians closing in on them. I imagine them feeling so confused, hurt, and maybe even betrayed. Some of them even started to wonder if freedom was worth it—they said they’d rather have stayed as slaves than to risk dying out there in the wilderness.
But then Moses, with this bold and unwavering faith, stands up and says to them, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today” (Exodus 14:13). Moses didn’t know how God was going to make a way, but he knew God would. Because he trusted. Because he knew God’s heart.
What I love is that from the very beginning, God had a plan. At the start of Chapter 14, He told Moses to camp by the sea, to set up in what seemed like the worst possible spot. God knew exactly what He was doing. He said that Pharaoh would see the Israelites trapped and come after them. God was setting everything up. He told Moses, “I will get glory over Pharaoh, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” God was orchestrating a story that would show His power and His faithfulness in the most undeniable way.
So there they were, surrounded on every side. Pharaoh wasn’t holding back. He brought everything he had—every horse, every chariot, his entire army. He didn’t leave a single soldier behind. He was coming at the Israelites with everything he could muster. But even though it looked like there was no way out, God already had it all worked out. God knew that the Israelites would be backed up against the sea. He knew that He was going to part it for them. God had the whole thing planned from the start.
Moses’ faith was so strong that he told the Israelites, “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” He didn’t have a blueprint, he just knew that God was going to show up. The Message translation says, “Watch God do His work.” What the Israelites saw as an obstacle, God saw as an opportunity. He turned what seemed impossible into a path.
And here’s what gets me: when God made that way through the sea, He didn’t just make a path. The Bible says three times that they walked across on dry ground. Not muck, not mud, not slippery, messy ground. It was solid. God made a road. A road that was strong enough for every single one of them—the able-bodied, the young, the old, the crippled, the moms carrying babies, the broken and the weary. When it looked like there was no way, God made a way. He literally made a road where there was none. When everything seemed hopeless, God made hope.
And then there’s the Egyptian army, blinded by hatred and pride, charging right into the sea after them. I can’t help but wonder if any of them hesitated, even for a second. Did anyone think, “What if this path isn’t as safe as it looks? What if the sea collapses?” But they were so consumed by their rage and determination that they followed blindly into the very thing that would destroy them. That’s what hatred and bitterness can do. It blinds us, leading us right into the dangers we can’t see because we’re so focused on our anger.
Through all of this, God was with the Israelites. He not only cleared the path ahead of them but also guarded them from behind. In verse 19, it says that the angel of God, who had been going before them, moved and went behind them, standing between the Israelites and the Egyptian army. God was covering every angle, making sure no one was left behind. He was with them at the front, leading the way, and at the back, protecting them. They didn’t have to fight the Egyptians—God did. Even when the Egyptians were trapped, bogged down in the mud, they recognized the truth. Verse 25 says, “And the Egyptians said, ‘Let us flee from before Israel, for the Lord fights for them.’” Even at the end, they saw God’s power and His faithfulness.
Can you imagine the story the Israelites had to tell after that? They saw the sea part. They saw the downfall of their enemies. They witnessed firsthand the power and faithfulness of God, who turned their impossible situation into a testimony of His strength.
So, remember: God’s got a plan, even if we can’t see it. When we’re in the valley, He’s there. When we’re on the mountain, He’s there. When we’re backed up to our own “Red Sea,” He’s there, working it out in ways we might never expect. You don’t have to know the whole plan to trust that God has one. He goes before us, making a way, and He stays behind us, covering every step.
The battle belongs to God. And when He speaks, mountains move, seas part, battles are won without us even lifting a finger. Just like with the Israelites, He’s leading us on a journey we don’t fully understand yet. But we can rest knowing that He’s with us every step of the way—before us, behind us, surrounding us.
What a mighty God we serve.
