Blooming In Process

I see you. Holding it all together on the outside while you’re barely breathing on the inside.

You’ve gotten so good at the smile, haven’t you? So practiced at saying “I’m fine” that sometimes you almost believe it yourself.

But God already knows. He sees the 3am thoughts you can’t shut off. The tears you swallow back down. The weight sitting on your chest that nobody else notices.

And He’s not asking you to keep performing strength you don’t have.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28

Laying it down doesn’t mean you have all the answers or that you’re suddenly “over it.” It just means you stop pretending you’re okay when you’re not. You tell Him the truth, the raw, ugly, messy truth, and you let Him sit with you in it.

You whisper it in the car. You cry it out in the shower. You write it in your journal at 2am. However it comes out, just let it out.
Because the silence? It’s killing you softly. And He never asked you to die that way.

You weren’t made to carry this alone, love. Let Him have it.
