Backstory:

Yesterday I looked out my living room window and I saw a really big, white, fluffy cloud. The sky was a bright blue and the sun was shining. It made me think that sometimes clouds can be dark and ominous, bringing a coming storm. Sometimes they can be huge, white and fluffy, glowing in their brilliant beauty. This can be applied to our lives. Some days we may feel like the clouds or the trials in our lives are never-ending. We may feel that the darkness of the clouds and the storms that follow will never brighten and that we may never see the light and hope of the sun again. But, because of Jesus, there is always hope in this life, no matter what we are going through.

The Sun Behind the Clouds

As I sat on my living sofa one day looking out the window, I saw a big, white, fluffy cloud that seemed with hope to glow. It made me think that I have days when there are dark clouds over my head Because of my chronic illness symptoms, some days it’s hard to get out of bed. The darkness in my heart and mind seems to never lift On my hard days when I can feel hope drift. I just have to make it through those darker days, As I plead to my Heavenly Father so that my spirit will raise. I get discouraged because of the things my body doesn’t allow me to do, And then the dark clouds settle in my soul and make me feel blue. But the sun always comes up the next day, Helping my spirit rise with every glowing ray. Yes, I know there will be hard days when my mind and body are at war, But those days just help me appreciate the good ones more. There is always hope because of God’s Beloved Son, Who felt all of my hard days as the Anointed One. So, when my mind and heart seem to be overshadowed by the dark sky, I just need to reach out to my Savior when I feel like I want to cry. He will dry the tears that fall from my eyes, And He will break up the clouds as my spirit starts to rise.

The Takeaway: We all have hard trials in this life that feel like dark clouds hanging over our heads. On our hard days, we may feel like the sun may never rise for us again. But if we feel like this, we just need to look up to the Beloved Son. Jesus knows how we feel and He will be with us. He will dry our tears and carry our sorrows. Because of Him, there is always hope that the dark clouds will go away and that the sun will rise again.

Backstory:
This writing was inspired by reflecting on how easy it can be for any of us to feel discouraged by our mistakes, weaknesses, and the times we fall short. In those moments, it can seem like getting back up is too hard or that we’ve fallen too far to be helped. As I thought about those feelings, I was reminded of the Savior’s constant love and His power to lift, heal, and strengthen us—no matter where we are or how many times we’ve fallen.

The Hands That Lift Me Again

If you have ever felt alone
Like you are in the darkness on your own.
If you feel like you’ve hit a wall,
And you’re stumbling through a heavy fall.

If you ever feel like you have fallen
Too many times to get back up again.
If your many shortcomings weigh you down,
And in the dark you sit and frown.

Just remember that there is One named Jesus
Who will help you overcome your every weakness.
He has been in the darkness Himself before
And He will help you when you feel like you can’t stand anymore.

He already suffered for your every sin
And He knows what it feels like to be in your skin.
Just know that Jesus will help you get up
When you have fallen, He will fill your empty cup.

You are never out of the reach of your Savior’s gentle touch,
For He loves you and cares about you so much.
Even if you were the only person on earth
He would have suffered so that you could feel your divine worth.

The Takeaway: We all have moments when we feel broken, weary, or unsure if we can keep trying. But no one is ever beyond the reach of Jesus Christ. He understands perfectly, and His hands are always extended to lift us, heal us, and help us begin again.
