Silas
Beloved of All
Your body aches under the strain of kidney stones, and your heart feels pressed down by all that rests on your shoulders as a mother. In the middle of that weight, I want you to hear something solid: God loves you with a love that does not rise and fall with your circumstances. The greatest proof is not found in what you feel today, but in what He already did when He sent His Son to take your sins and make you His own. That love is not a reward for being lovable. It is simply who He is. He loved you while you were far off, and He loves you now as His child.
Because of that love, you can have peace. Not the fragile peace that vanishes when pain spikes or when the demands of two little ones pile up, but the unshakable peace of being in Christ. He is our peace, and when His Spirit fills you, love pushes out fear. You do not have to dread God’s judgment or doubt His care. In Jesus, you are fully accepted, and nothing in your body or in your home can change that. His love is what gives you boldness to rest, even now.
That same Spirit is at work in you, perfecting God’s love in your heart. As you turn to Him in this trial, He will anchor you more deeply than you could ever anchor yourself. When the pain is sharp and you feel overwhelmed, remember that He never willingly causes His children to suffer, but He does use every affliction to draw us nearer to His heart. Let this moment become a place where you receive His grace instead of brushing it aside. Let your hope and your faith find their home in His love, because love believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
We are praying for your complete healing and for a supernatural calm to settle over your life. But more than that, we are asking that you would know in your innermost being the length and depth of the love God has for you. Keep yourself in the place where He can pour out His mercies. Wait on Him. Rest in the truth that you are held.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
