More Than Skin Deep: The Silent Weights We Carry

From the Heart of Grace

Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

We often look at others and see only the surface. Their smile. Their attitude. Their reaction.

But what if we could see their story?

Recently, I had a conversation with someone who surprised me.

They often came across as intense, maybe even difficult to approach at times. But when the moment came to truly connect, something shifted.

Underneath the surface was a gentle soul—carrying more than anyone had imagined.

Years of emotional wounds. Fears buried so deeply they showed up as frustration.

The kind of brokenness that can’t always be seen… but feels loud inside.

That conversation reminded me how easy it is to misread people—especially when all we see is their reaction, not their reality.

Many of us are carrying silent weights.

Unhealed hurts. Childhood scars. Fear of rejection. And these invisible loads don’t just affect our relationships—they affect our bodies too.

Stress shows up on our skin. Emotional pain can dim our glow.

And sometimes, what we need most isn’t a new beauty routine—it’s grace.

That’s why, at His Touch of Grace Aromas, I believe self-care is sacred.

Every time you gently massage a whipped butter into your skin or inhale the scent of a healing soap—it’s more than skincare.

It’s a moment to pause and ask: What is my heart holding today?

We are more than what we present.

True beauty is born from the soul—from kindness, empathy, and restoration.

So let’s look at others with softer eyes.

Let’s look at ourselves with gentler hearts.

Because we never really know what someone has survived…

and often, the most “difficult” people are the ones who need grace the most.

Grace Reflection:

Have I been quick to judge someone lately? Can I try to see them through the lens of compassion instead?

Self-Care Tip:
