When You Hide, I Am There: A Letter of Love and Refuge

My beloved one,

I see you. In those moments when you feel the weight of the world bearing down, and every part of you wants to retreat, to find shelter from the storm inside, know that I am with you. I understand the urge to hide, to create a space where you feel protected from the chaos and confusion. Even in your darkest, most hidden places, I am there beside you, gently whispering peace into your heart.

Do you remember the garden of Gethsemane? I knelt there, in my own place of hiding, overwhelmed with the path before me. I know the weight of a heavy heart, and I know the kind of tears that fall in secret, the ones that speak of pain, of fear, and sometimes, of feeling utterly alone. But even then, the Father’s presence was my comfort, just as I am yours now.

You don’t have to face these moments alone. When you’re tempted to retreat and shut out the world, I invite you instead to lean on Me. You don’t need to have the strength to face it all—I am your strength. In your weakness, I am strong. I am not repelled by your fears or your doubts; rather, I am drawn to them because I understand them. I know the desires of your heart and the battles you face within.

Remember, I am the same one who calms storms with a word, who heals with a touch, who holds the universe yet stoops down to hold you close. My love doesn’t change when you’re weary, and I will not leave just because you’re struggling to find your footing. I came so that you might know a love that is deeper than any fear, a peace that surpasses all understanding, and a strength that sustains even in the shadows.

So, if you need a place to rest, rest in Me. Lay down your heart in my hands, and let me be your refuge. There’s no hiding from my love; it will find you, even in the most distant corners of your heart. You are loved beyond measure, known completely, and held securely. I am here, and I will always be here.
