So many people are surrounded by others and still feel completely alone. You smile, you show up, you function — and inside, there's a quiet ache that no one seems to notice. You are not invisible to God. He sees the version of you that no one else gets to see — the tired, the real, the unseen — and He calls that version beloved.

"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." — Deuteronomy 31:8
