The work of caring is relentless. It wears on the people who do it most faithfully, the ones who show up again after the hard shift, the hard patient, the hard year. This design names what that work requires: not a burst of compassion, but care that holds steady when everything in you wants to stop. The steadfastness is not yours alone. It reflects the posture of a God who has never stopped caring for you (see Isaiah 41:10, ESV).
