I wish I could take you out for coffee. Or tea. Or wine. I wish I could look in your eyes and see them fill with love when you talk about your babies. I wish I could hear your laughter and even your sighs. It’s a privilege to be trusted with the real you. Your authenticity is beautiful. I would love to reach across the table and grab your hand and feel you hold on tight as we share each other’s joys and sorrows.
If I could sit with you now, here is what I would tell you:
- You are deeply beloved.
- This hard season is temporary.
- God’s love for your family is immeasurable.
- God is pursuing you with goodness and mercy.
- Your gifts and talents are invaluable.
- You are a blessing.
- You are worth every effort.
- God is faithful to show you the next right step.
- Your story matters.
- You are not alone.
