Grief is a Chance to See Clearly

Clarity often arrives before relief. I can see the terrain more clearly now—what belongs to the road ahead and what does not. That kind of knowing does not shorten the journey; it simply removes illusions that once made the distance feel smaller.

That produces a particular kind of tiredness. Not collapse, not despair—just the honest fatigue that comes from sustained effort and long faithfulness. The work has been real. The costs have been real. And the path forward, while clearing, still asks patience.

What matters is this: weariness is not failure. It is often the sign that something has been carried with integrity for a long time. You are allowed to name that without dramatizing it, without surrendering hope, and without turning it into a verdict about what comes next.

I’m grateful for those of you who walk alongside quietly. Your prayers matter. Even more, your gratitude to God for the good entrusted to you strengthens the whole field.

Thank you for being here.

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
