“Picture your tender Savior kneeling beside you with a towel wrapped round, wiping away all the grit and grime your feet have picked up today-…. …All the sin. All the insecurity. All the messes. All the pain and sorrows. He takes it all and washes you clean, dear sister. Once forever and again and again.”

“Through every toss and turn at night and every long day that feels so incredibly inefficient, we carry within us the comforts of the Holy Spirit, friend. He stands at the ready to illuminate and minister the truth to our hearts, to assure us of our Father's compassion, and to bring us back to Jesus again and again. He is even more available and attentive to us than we are to our newborn's weeping.”

“Isaiah 53:3 calls Jesus “a man of sorrows…acquainted with grief.” Think of that, dear postpartum mama. Christ is acquainted with your grief. … Jesus sees everything you’ve lost to be right where you are now, even when those griefs might just be for a season. He weeps for you and alongside you.”
