Jesus is My Music

Christianity is Hard 📍

It’s easy to attend church every churchdays, to sing along with the worship songs. It’s easy to volunteer, to offer help when it fits into my schedule. It’s easy to share Bible verses and uplifting quotes on social media.

Yes! It’s easy to say, “I’m a Christian,” to speak eloquently about God’s love when life is good. When blessings are pouring in, when my family is thriving, and when the worry is absent, it’s easy to feel His presence all around me.

But what’s truly hard?

It’s making space for God especially when my heart feels distant. It’s hard to encounter someone in need and share what little I have when I’m struggling myself. It’s praying for others when I can’t find the words to pray for my own situation. It’s seeing the face of God in those who have hurt me, in those who challenge my ability to forgive.

What’s truly hard? It’s the daily choice to stay connected to Him, to actively choose faith even when it’s difficult. It’s committing to read His Word, to truly listen, even when my mind is elsewhere. It’s saying, “I love You,” and meaning it, especially when my heart is heavy.

what’s truly hard? when you need patient and You are in situation requiring patient. It’s finding time to pause and breathe in His presence amidst a busy life. It’s making Jesus a daily choice.

what’s truly hard? Forgiving those who didn’t ask for apology.

What’s hard is loving the people who hurt me. It’s a struggle to extend grace to those who have wounded me deeply, to show kindness when I feel betrayed. It’s easy to love when everything is rosy, but when relationships fracture and trust is broken, it’s a challenge to remember Christ’s call to love unconditionally.

What’s truly hard, is believing in God’s promises when hope feels distant. It’s being thankful when the answers aren’t what I wanted.

Christianity is hard because choosing Jesus doesn’t mean everything will be easy. There will still be heartaches, disappointments, and trials. Choosing Him doesn’t exempt me from pain; rather, it promises that He’ll walk with me through it all. He offers comfort in the pain, healing in sickness, and unconditional love during heartaches. He doesn’t promise easy, because easy doesn’t draw me closer to Him.

Yes, it’s hard. It’s hard to love those who hurt us, to forgive when the wounds are fresh, to extend grace when it feels undeserved. But in that struggle, I find depth in my faith. It’s worth it because every act of love, every moment of grace, every tear shed in His presence is an evidence to the strength He gives me.

So I’ll choose Him, and I’ll choose to love—despite the pain, despite the struggle. Because at the end of the day, even when it’s hard, His love is what sustains me. And that makes it all worth it.

Because at the end of it all, it’s not about my strength, but His; not about my love, but His unfailing love that holds me together, that enable me to cling to Him despite how hard Christian experince are.

I’d rather walk through the hardest days with Jesus by my side than live an easy life without Him.

Walking with Jesus may be a hardest path but, the safest path 🙏

The true test of faith is when you don't even understand anything at all, but still trust God.
