my eyes have recently been opened to the brokenness, the hidden pain, and the shame of this world. 

and honestly it overwhelms me. 

I feel like I’m drowning. 

the world is hurting all around and as just one small person — I can’t help but feel helpless and hopeless. 

my heart yearns to fix every broken heart, mend every broken relationship, kiss every wound, and wipe away every last tear this world has to offer.

but I simply can’t reach every hurt.

so I have come to a new-found peace in meeting the needs that I can and giving the rest to my really big God. 

“See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands..” Isaiah 49:16

this verse just speaks volume over my life and I pray it impacts whoever may read this.

when this world calls you unworthy, when you feel less than, when you’ve been told you’re not good enough… just remember that the King of Kings. our Jesus. the messiah. inscribed YOUR name on his palms. you are enough. you are worthy. and you were worth dying for. 

“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” Psalms 6:6 

regardless of the shame and hurt this world lays on your shoulders, I pray you would never forget that our savior is a place of quiet and safe retreat. he’s the best comforter. the biggest defender. and the best listener I’ve ever encountered. he will meet you where you are, regardless of the titles this world has given you. 

you were made worthy, righteous, pure, beautiful, and shameless that day on Calvary and we are to never look back.

walk in the freedom that Jesus offers. his burden is oh so much lighter than that of this world.

please reach out to me on days you feel unloved and unworthy. I would love to tell you just how worthy you are.

all of my love.
