My child, come nearer and let your heart
0:02
be honest with me. I know the places
0:04
where disappointment tried to settle in
0:05
and the moments when hope felt fragile
0:07
in your hands. I have watched you keep
0:09
going when it would have been easier to
0:11
stop, to close off to protect yourself
0:13
from being hurt again. You wondered if
0:15
your strength was fading or if your
0:17
faith was being tested beyond its limit.
0:19
Hear me now. I am not measuring you by
0:21
how steady you feel, but by how willing
0:23
you are to keep trusting me. You think
0:25
you have lost time, lost opportunities,
0:28
lost parts of yourself along the way.
0:30
But nothing that matters has slipped
0:31
beyond my reach. I restore what seems
0:33
broken, and I return what was taken in
0:35
ways you could never imagine. What feels
0:37
like an ending is often the beginning of
0:39
something purer, stronger, and more
0:41
aligned with who you are becoming. I am
0:43
not rebuilding your life as it was. I am
0:45
renewing it as it should be. Do not rush
0:47
your healing or judge your progress. I
0:49
am working gently and deeply, touching
0:51
places others cannot see. When fear
0:53
whispers that it is too late, remember
0:55
that I stand outside of time. When shame
0:57
tries to speak louder than grace,
0:59
remember that I call you chosen. You are
1:01
not defined by what happened to you or
1:03
by what you wish you had done
1:04
differently. You are defined by my love
1:06
for you. Release the pressure to carry
1:08
everything perfectly. Give me your
1:10
worries, your regrets, your unanswered
1:11
prayers. I am patient with your process
1:14
and faithful to your future. Walk
1:15
forward today with hope, even if it
1:19
I am restoring your peace, strengthening
1:21
your heart, and preparing you for joy
1:23
again. Rest now, my child. You are safe
1:26
with me. I am healing what hurts,
1:28
reviving what feels weary, and leading
1:30
you into what is good. Stay close. I am
1:33
with you and I always will
