Common

Words of Encouragement

Whatever you are going through right now — know this first. You are not the only one who has ever faced it. It is common. And the God who has been faithful to everyone who has ever carried this same weight is being faithful to you right now, in this moment, in this trial. He has not left you without resources. He has not put you in a situation beyond your ability to overcome. The provision is already there — the supports, the options, the alternate ways through — waiting for you to reach out and take hold of them. And here is the most encouraging part. On the other side of walking through this — not escaping it, not running around it one more time, but actually going through it with Jesus — is a version of you that is stronger than the one who entered it. The trial is not your destruction. In the hands of a faithful God it is your development. Keep going, friend. The other side is closer than it feels. And you are going to come out of this stronger than you went in.
