Divorce, bankruptcy, poverty,
loss of a loved one….whatever the thing is, it isn’t causing us to suffer. We cause ourselves to suffer by how we
react to what the tragedy is and by how we relate to it.
Having everything fall down
around you while you watch helplessly will
happen. That sort of happening will come and go in your life like the seasons,
so prepare for the bad thing, make room for it in your life, expect it and in
the midst of it, whatever it is, remember these things;
You are not alone. There is a
God and he’s with you and he will not desert you even though sometimes it will
feel like he left high and dry, he’s
there.
No matter how much it hurts or
humiliates you, this too shall pass.
You’re going to be okay or as
okay as you can be in this life. It won’t hurt forever even though it seems
like at the moment of impact. Time will
heal this wound too.
There is something to learn and
gain in all of this and eventually, when you least expect it, you’ll learn what
that lesson is.
