Stronger Than You Think

 They didn’t see the strength it took

To stand when every hilltop shook.

They didn’t see the hidden fight,

The weary prayers I breathed at night.

They measured me by shallow things,

By broken clocks and broken wings.

They said I’d fall, they said I’d fail —

But God said that we would prevail.

They didn’t see the seeds I sowed,

The quiet faith that only grows

When watered not by pride or cheer,

But by a love that fights through fear.

They saw the cracks — but not the core,

The heart that chose to try once more.

They saw the wounds — but not the flame

That carried hope in Jesus’ name.

So let them doubt, and let them flee —

Their words have never anchored me.

For I am held by hands unseen,

And grace will fill the in-between.

Their disbelief won’t be my end —

My strength comes not from them, but Him.

And when the time of harvest nears,

God will redeem these hidden years.
