I recently remembered something I had read from St. Augustine that greatly impacted me and comforted me with something very personal I have been dealing with. Although, I think, everyone and anyone can probably relate to this quote, I at this point in time needed to be reminded of this. St. Augustine said, “God has one Son on Earth without sin, but never one without suffering.” I can’t believe something so simple yet so meaningful and carrying the weight of such importance was completely looked over at the time. It’s always a comfort to know that you’re not the only person in the world feeling weighted down by your burdens and insecurities and that God knows that. I felt for awhile that I was just crazy or being over dramatic about my issues, but now I am beginning to see that I’m only human and I’m not alone in my struggles. God is prepared for my brokenness and He loves me all the more for it especially when I lay my burdens down at His feet and give Him my absolute everything. It’s easy to spend time with God and be thankful when everything is peachy keen, but when life throws you a curve ball and it feels like your world and mind are deteriorating, that’s when your faith is challenged and it becomes all the more important to stick with God and be reminded that He’s gonna stick with you too.
