Living For the Future

In life hurt is a common denominator. In everything we do, in all the people we meet, in all relationships we are in painful things can happen. As a people we are not perfect as God is perfect. Instead we are far from him.

But interestingly enough there is good news in the bad. No matter where we are in our lives God is watching over us. This is why we should remember that though bad things happen, those things do not have to control our lives.

Contrary to popular belief I think that God feels pain just like we do in our everyday lives. I believe when God sees a person of faith fall down in their faith or in sadness he himself is saddened.

That is one thing of which I am certain is that the bad things in our lives do not have to rule over our lives. At the time of the event we are discouraged and we feel saddened, but events in life were not designed to keep us down. Rather they are more like obstacles in a course that we as people of faith are meant to overcome. We humans are the masters of our lives and we worship God and give him thanks, but only we can change how we feel or control the emotions in our lives. We choose to feel bad, to feel good or to feel indifferent.

This is why I say do not let these things keep you down. And something that I make as a bold statement, is that if we are upset we only have ourselves weighing on that hurt. As you push through the pain and pray to God, you will feel his comfort. So do not fall on hard times alone, do not dread alone, give your concerns to God. Stop sitting in your hole, rather take God's hand and pull yourself up. And he moving up, getting closer and closer to God. Enjoy this life, the past is a learning experience and only hurts when you don't move on.
