When She Hurts You, but You Still Have to Respect Her 👵💔

“Don’t take it to heart. She’s old. Just adjust.”

That’s what everyone says.

But they don’t see how her words make you cry in the kitchen.

You try your best — you cook, clean, smile, respect her.

But sometimes, no matter what you do, it feels like it’s never enough for your mother-in-law.

One moment she praises you in front of guests, the next moment she finds fault in everything.

And there you are… holding your tears, putting on a smile, and continuing your day like nothing happened.

Being a daughter-in-law isn’t easy.

You don’t want to hurt anyone. You don’t want fights.

You just want peace in the house… and peace in your heart.

And even if no one else understands — God does.

He sees your effort. He knows your pain.

And He is proud of the peace you’re trying to keep — even when your heart breaks.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

— Matthew 5:9

Dear God,

I’m trying. I’m adjusting. I’m staying quiet even when I’m hurting.

But You know my heart, Lord.

Please give me the strength to keep loving when I don’t feel loved.

Help me not to become bitter. Help me be wise, peaceful, and still honest.

Let my home be filled with Your calm presence — not silent pain.

And remind me that You see the truth, even if others don’t.

Amen.

You're not alone. You're not weak. You're just strong in a quiet way 💪
