All We Need

Throughout my life, I've faced relentless challenges as a mere mortal, yet somehow, I've always managed to claw my way through, emerging battered but unbeaten.

I used to believe I could mend anything in my life if I just pushed harder or waited longer. Many know me as a tough man and I believed I was tough too. But I've learned some wounds aren't meant to heal. Sometimes, all we can do is make a fragile peace with the pain and move forward, knowing we gave it our all.

Life is far from perfect; it hurls obstacles at us relentlessly, be they psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual, or financial. We've all been dragged through that storm, because no one is without flaws or scars. We are all broken in some way. The heartaches and the tears are universal.

Amidst the turmoil, I urge you to keep praying and hold onto the fragile hope within you. Someday, somehow, perhaps it will all be okay. And it's alright to admit when you're not okay.

Matthew 11:28-30

[28] Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

[29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

[30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

In the end, amidst the heartache and struggle, it is Jesus Christ who offers solace. He is all we truly need.

Fear God, keep His commandments—this is the essence of our duty.🙏
