Make something beautiful out of all this suffering.

Staying Alive

Have you ever felt like life was going wrong and you just didn’t want to be around? Or you felt like others didn’t want you around?

Do you feel like you’re doing all you can to be happy but it’s not working out?

Do you feel like everything that you’re doing seem to be mistakes in the eyes of others, and then to you?

Do you feel broken, useless, and worthless?

I was using a pen to write something down. I rest the pen down and got up to go do something. When I returned, I accidentally stepped on the pen, breaking a piece of it off. But the pen still had ink; it was still useful.

Take yourself as that pen. A piece of you is broken, not all. That pen had ink that made it write. You still have life no matter how complicated it is right now.

Sometimes we get so caught up in these words called everything, always, never, and all the time. Don’t be. Life is not always bad, no matter how it seems to be.

Hurt Seeks A Reason

“You caused my heart to bleed/And you still owe me a reason/Cause I can’t figure out why.” from So Cold by Ben Cocks and Nikisha Reyes

Have you ever heard those lines from that song? When I did, I asked myself, Do we need to know why we’re being hurt in order to heal?

From broken relationships of any kind, to someone dying, a lost of a job or something important, etc., do we have to know from people, including God, what are the reasons for the pain before we try to pick up the pieces and move on?
