We are often more alike as humans than we give ourselves credit or comfort knowing. We have so much more in common than we remember to let in. This can lend us peace in knowing, we are not alone in this big ol world. Others that have come before, in the present, and even in the future will face things just like you have. They will and have felt what you are feeling today, someone in this huge world is feeling with you today.On a greater level, I personally know that Christ has felt it all and he is hear for you right now feeling it with you and can lighten the load and weight you feel right this moment, if you will come to him and ask.
I’m sharing all of this because I think we often isolate ourselves in our feelings. I know I have done it many times. The hard part about it is that we truly aren’t alone. Even though many times in life we feel we are. Yes, we are each individuals and we are unique in the way we feel, in how we think, and how we experience our troubles and trails. Because well none of us are perfectly alike as far as we are aware. But take hope in knowing that someone else has been in your shoes, they have walked your path, or they are walking through one right now. If it even brings you a glimmer of hope that you can keep going and that you have someone who even understands you a little bit, then that’s enough.
As I shared above, I do believe Jesus Christ knows and experienced all. I do believe he is the only one outside of God the Father, who understands us perfectly and has honestly gone through everything to succor and comfort us. To give us aid and to give us the saving grace and unconditionally love we all need. He went through it all so we didn’t have to face it alone. He did it before and so we don’t have to now. But I also know that he is here now. He is here to aid you, comfort you, lighten the heaviness, and help you to have faith and strength to press forward.
If you don’t believe those things for yourself. At least know as I shared before that other people can understand to some degree what you are facing and that you are not alone. Hold on to the light of that and the good feeling that comes when reading that you can take comfort in being connected with someone else.
Here are just a small amount of examples of things we as humans face at one point or another. Maybe we don’t all go through everything but someone has. I believe the commonality helps up be able to endure and endure with hope and even happiness. So I hope this helps you today as you read this in whatever way it can.

There are so many examples and I found comfort as these came to my mind and I wrote them out. I wanted to share in case someone else wanted to know that we are all human too. That we have beating hearts and blood flowing through our veins together. Even if we can’t find commonality in one way, we can find commonality in the things I expressed above. We can know that we are all human.
