My Alabaster Jar

This morning, I sat with

𝟙 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕒𝕟𝕤 𝟞:𝟙𝟡-𝟚𝟘 again.

I’ve read it before.

But today… it read me.

“𝔻𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪 𝕚𝕤 𝕒

𝕥𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕠𝕝𝕪 𝕊𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕥 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦,

𝕊𝕠 𝕘𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕗𝕪 𝔾𝕠𝕕 𝕚𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪.”

That’s a hard verse when you’ve spent

years feeling like your body is broken…

Or like no matter how hard you try,

something always seems to get in the way.

Asthma.

A hundred days of coughing.

An unintentional injury.

Disappointment.

Shame.

Trying again — only to feel like the

ground keeps shifting beneath you.

But instead of turning away from the

ache today, I let Him walk me through it.

And here’s what I heard in the quiet…

⸻

He’s not sabotaging you.

He’s sustaining you.

I know it doesn’t feel like it.

You’ve tried.

You’ve done the right things.

You’ve prayed, moved, nourished, rested.

You’ve coughed through winters.

Limped through setbacks.

Wrestled through the tears no one saw.

You’ve wondered if He even cares.

But beloved… He does.

This isn’t punishment.

This is a process.

Not just of weight loss—

— but of weight lifted.

Of lies uprooted.

Of shame released.

Of learning that this body

—even now— is not a failure.

It’s a temple.

And He’s still dwelling here.

So today — just today —

breathe.

Rest.

And remember:

You are not invisible.

Not to Him.

He sees you trying.

And that is holy ground.

—

If you’re where I am — asking why the

journey is still so hard,

I just want to say:

You’re not alone.

He’s walking us through something

deeper than we can see right now.

But one day, when we look back,

we’ll realize we were never walking alone.
