As the year is going on and the semester is getting harder, I can see those aroud me who I love begin to struggle. Things at home aren't great, maybe grades aren't great, relationships are facing tough times, faith is struggling, and life is just hard. My friends, let me tell you this.

I see you/

I see you and I see your pain. My heart breaks for you and I wish there was so much I could do to help you. I've not only been where you are but I am walking this road with you. I know it's not easy and I know at times you want to give up but I want you to know...

You are strong. Whether you're facing bad grades or you are struggling in your walk with Christ right now, remeber that God will never give you more than you can handle. Just because we serve a good and loving God doesn't mean that we won't face battles in life. You are strong, you will get through this, and you will come out on top of this a stronger person.

Never forget this.

You are loved. You are loved by me and by so many more. Most importantly you are loved by God Whether your faith feels empty right now or you are so full of Christ, it is always encouraging to be reminded that you are loved. No matter what you're facing, how you handling it, or no matter where you've come from or what you've done, u are loved more than you comprehend and that love will never change.

You are not defined by your grades, your failures, or your struggles.The world will feed you lie that you aren't good enough and that you deserve what you are facing. Don't believe it. You are enough and if someone doesn't see that in you, they aren't worth your time You are perfect the way you are and while you may be struggling now, you are going to do amazing things.

You can do all things because Jesus is with you. He never leaves you. He never stops loving you. No matter what you are going through today... You can make it.
