Christ Holds Us Indefinitely, Eternally.

“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” —Colossians 1:17

There is a sacred mystery in the way Christ holds us. It is not a temporary embrace, not a fleeting moment of comfort that comes and goes with the waves of our circumstances. His hold is unshaken, unrelenting—eternal.

He holds us when dreams are shattered, when the life we imagined slips through our fingers and leaves us grasping at the unknown.

He holds us through the pain and trauma, through the nights when sorrow grips our chest so tightly we wonder how we will take the next breath.

He holds us when the delivery room is silent, when joy is swallowed by grief, and when the weight of an empty womb feels unbearable.

His hands do not let go in the darkest moments, nor do they loosen their grip when our faith feels weak. Instead, He holds all things together—even the broken and undone.

We weep, while also rejoicing in this truth. Because even in the ache, we are not abandoned. Even in the longing, we are not lost.

His hands that stretched wide on the cross are the same hands that cradle our sorrow. They are the same hands that carried our Hope Babies safely into eternity.

And in those hands, we are held. Indefinitely. Eternally.
