I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling down or in need of encouragement, oftentimes I turn to music. So I made a playlist for you.

Believe me when I say — I understand what it feels like to live in this world and still feel completely lost in it. I know how easy it is to wonder if anyone truly sees you or cares about what you’re walking through. But let me encourage you with something I know without a doubt: you are seen, you are known, and you are wildly, deeply, unconditionally loved. Not just in your best moments — but right here, right now, exactly as you are. In the ordinary days, the messy seasons, the overwhelming chapters, and even in the darkest, hardest moments — you are not forgotten. No matter what season of life you’re in — navigating high school, figuring out adulthood, learning how to be a parent, adjusting to an empty nest, or wondering what comes next after retirement — there is still hope. There is purpose in your story. And there is a God who sees every bit of it and calls it worthy. You are never unseen. You are never unloved. Not for a single second.
