Some days are hard, or sad, or frustrating, or disappointing, or full of grief. This is a reality of real life.
We do not live our days on mountaintops, with beautiful vistas, the sun always shining, and things always going our way.
When the days are full of shadows, we sometimes need to be reminded that we are loved.
When just getting out of bed takes all that is within (and more), to choose to throw off the covers and emerge from your place of rest.
When your world seems to be full of bad news.
When it seems that you do not fit in, that you are not enough. That there is rejection of you from all around.
When you just hurt … your body, your mind, your heart.
When life is hard, when it is more difficult to do life, when the news is bad, and when it seems that there is nothing and no one to live for or with …
His love for you does not depend on your love for him. He is always there, always loving you.
“This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us”
1 John 4:10a
