He knows
While reading a devotion this morning, I was reminded in regards to a certain issue, "He knows how hard it is and how much we struggle." Oh how I easily forget that!
So often I feel guilty for struggling because I feel I should be better than that or how disappointed God must be in me because I continue to struggle. It's easy to think God looks down on us because of our sin, when really, He is the mighty compassionate One. He's not mad at me or thinks less of me. He know how hard it is! Those words really validated me and gave me a new hope of perseverance, not to mention a refreshed perspective.
Next time you are feeling guilt on top of the struggles of everyday life, take a second, breathe, and remember, He knows.
