It's funny how these verses hit differently now that I'm going through some tough times.You know, it's easy to feel discouraged when life keeps throwing curveballs. Lately, I've caught myself wondering, "Why does everything seem so hard? Is this really what following Jesus is supposed to be like?" But even in the midst of these doubts, I can't deny this warmth in my heart - this certainty that God loves me.I remember the day I first prayed to Jesus. It was like something shifted inside me. Now I understand - that was God's love being poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit. It's like having a constant whisper of encouragement, reminding me that God's got my back, even when I don't understand what's happening.Sometimes I try to imagine Jesus on the cross, choosing to die for me when I was still a mess. That kind of love... it's overwhelming. If God loved me enough to send Jesus, surely, He's not out to hurt me now, right?I'm trying to remember that God sees the big picture. He knows what I need, even when I don't. Everything that happens - the good and the bad - He's allowed it for a reason.So today, I'm making a choice. Instead of questioning everything, I'm going to pray: "God, I trust You. Whatever You want for me, that's what I want too. I'm putting it all in Your hands."It's not easy but knowing that God loves me this much... it changes things. These trials don't feel quite so heavy when I remember they're shaped by a loving Father's hands.Here's to growing stronger through the struggles, and never forgetting the love that carries me through.Until next timeChaplain Mark
