My friend, always remember that I walk with you through every season of life. If you are in a season where you feel isolated or alone, remember that I understand how you feel, and I am moved with compassion for you. I understand every worry and fear that you face, and the loneliness, pain, loss, suffering and struggle that you experience (Hebrews 4:15).

You may feel small and insignificant at times and wonder how the God of the universe could possibly understand you and the things you go through in life. But I understand you completely and know every part of you, down to the tiniest cell in your brain. I have loved you with an everlasting love and have drawn you to Myself with unfailing kindness (Jeremiah 31:3 NIV).

There will come a time when you will look back and realize the treasures hidden in the darkness that you discovered during this time, and how I used this to draw you close to Me (Isaiah 45:3). Know that these times won’t last forever, and as you cast every burden you are carrying on Me, you will find the strength you need to meet every challenge (Psalm 55:22). I have a plan and a purpose for every season of your life—to give you hope and to draw you ever closer to your eternal future with Me (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).
