Loneliness can be convincing, but it has never been the truth about your life. God has been in your corner through every season, even the ones where you felt unseen.
Angel: She’s been feeling like no one is on her side.
God: Remind her I’ve never once left.
Angel: She’s been carrying that loneliness for a while.
God: I know. It’s the loudest voice in her head right now. That nobody sees her. That nobody’s rooting for her. That everyone else has someone in their corner and she has to fight for herself alone.
I’ve been in her corner since before she was born
Jacqueline Whitney
Angel: Is any of that true?
God: None of it. I’ve been in her corner since before she was born. I’ve been rooting for her through every season she thought she was invisible. I’ve been the friend she couldn’t see when she felt like she had no one.
Angel: How do we help her feel it?
God: Send her something small today. A song. A verse. A stranger’s kindness. A memory that makes her feel warm out of nowhere. Anything that reminds her she’s not walking through this alone.
Angel: And if she still doesn’t feel it?
God: Then we keep whispering. Every day. Until she remembers. She has never once been on her own. And she never will be.
