The world has been feeling heavier lately. And yet we continue to live, carrying our secret battles that seem invisible to even those we know and meet.

Every day there is still beauty that at times seems fragile…like it’s not even real. 

Some of us wake up feeling trapped in lives we no longer recognize or jobs we are not happy with, and yet showing up is what we do. Then there are those who go to bed at night unsure whether they will see another morning, and every new day, a blessing they count as another one to add to their memories. While some are living their worst nightmares, others throw away the gift of life, as if it holds no meaning and live it mindlessly. 

Many are those whose hearts are breaking under the weight of pain, hardships, and grief. A life that colors seem to be fading, hopes flickering, and chaos that’s deafening. 

Many of us are carrying invisible battles. Many are living a version of life that feels deceitful, because no one dares to ask how they are holding.

The world is aching for kindness. Compassion for those who live with uncertainty. 

When everything feels hopeless, even then, let us be kind and mindful of how we treat those we know and meet.

And when life feels uncertain, know that…

Your secret battles are not invisible…

For you are seen by the One who knew and loved you the most. 

Until next time,
