Life is hard. We go through struggles every single day. We are stressed. We are tired. We are depressed. We are in pain. We get betrayed by those we thought we loved. But the one person we can always trust, we can always love and count on, is Jesus. He is our strength when we are weak. He is our happiness when we are sad. He is the light in our darkness. He died for our sins and loves us over all else. Everything that happens in our lives happen for a reason because God has a plan for us. Our time here on Earth is short, but our time in Heaven is for eternity. We should trust in our God, for He is good and loves us.
