No one sees it, do they?
That silent weight you carry every day, the one that doesn’t show on your face but sits heavy on your heart.
You wake up, dress up, and show up, smiling like everything’s fine.
But deep down, you’re tired. Not just tired, weary.
There’s a weight that doesn’t make noise.
It’s the burden of being the strong one, the dependable one,
You’ve learned to hide it so well that even your tears have learned silence.
Sometimes, you wish someone could just see through your strength and say, “You don’t have to be okay today.”
But everyone assumes you’ve got it figured out.
They don’t know you cry in between victories, that some nights you whisper, “God, I can’t do this anymore.”
And yet, even in that exhaustion, grace still finds you.
God sees what others don’t.
He knows how long you’ve been holding on, and He’s not distant from your pain.
He’s been walking with you, quietly carrying the part of the weight you couldn’t bear.
So, take a deep breath.
You don’t have to hold everything together.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to be human.
You are allowed to let go.
The weight you don’t talk about, God already knows it.
And He’s not disappointed.
He’s holding you while you heal.
