If you are depressed, lonely, despairing, or in pain, I hope you'll keep holding on to your faith in Christ. Your life isn't broken or worthless. Heartache is an intended and purposeful part of our mortal experience. Trust His plan for you. You are being cared for in ways you cannot see right now.

The God we worship is one who, though He may not fix our troubles immediately, knows our sufferings and He has promised that He will wipe away all the tears from our eyes. We can look forward with assurance to the day He pours down His divine compensation upon us. One day you'll look back and see purpose in every difficulty. You'll see your hardest days shaped you into all God intended you to become.
