It’s not meant to crush you

Jesus, though perfect, taught us obedience through suffering, not through ease or joy. He walked the path of pain to fulfill the will of the Father, sanctifying sorrow as a sacred teacher. In His love and wisdom, He has entrusted you with this sorrow—not as punishment, but as preparation. For just as gold is refined by fire, so too are you being shaped for His divine purposes, both now and forever.


Yet, take heart—your burden is not borne alone. The weight that feels so heavy to you rests heavier upon His shoulders. He carries the greater share, steadying your trembling hands and strengthening your weary heart. He knows your suffering intimately, and His love transforms your trials into treasures of eternal worth.


This sorrow is not forever; it is but a chapter in a story written by hands scarred with love for you. Cling to the One who weeps with you, who walks beside you, and who promises that your tears will one day be wiped away. The Cross He lays upon you is not meant to crush but to crown you with a deeper faith, a richer joy, and a glory that will never fade. Trust Him—He is making all things beautiful in their time.
