Everyday we go through life with so much coming at us. There are deadlines, papers to be written, people to meet, advertisements to be made, the list goes on and on. Sometimes we feel this pressure so much that we feel that there is absolutely nothing we can do. That we cannot make it on our own. We are pushed to our breaking point and once we have gotten there, we are often alone. We do not let others in on our secret struggles. We do not want others to feel our insecurities, whatever they may be.
Well, there is a great song that I feel fits into every hardship we have. It is called "Tears Away." The song speaks about how we are always just a tear away from our Salvation, our Great Healer, our Comforter. We do not have to go through life alone especially in the difficult times. We simply have to cry out to God, ask for His Help and He will never turn away from you. In the first chapter of John, it speaks about Jesus - "In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." God is our way to life and he shines through US! How amazing is it to think that our God's perfection shines the brightest when we follow Him? "that life was the light of men" Whether we know it our not, if we follow Christ, we are shining in the darkness around us. Others may not know that you are a Christian, they may not know why you follow him, or what he has done for you, but there is something about you that I can guarantee they do not understand. The fact that they do not understand you in some way or another, is what brings them to you. It is what draws people to you. That is why we must walk in the light that God has given us, His Holy Spirit.
When we do that, we will be comforted in our hardships. I may have written this verse before, but here it is again, think of it as God speaking to you
"I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you; I am greatly encouraged." (2 Corinthians 7:4)
Do not give up in whatever it is you are doing in your life. Do not give up when things do not seem to be going perfectly. God sometimes needs us to show others how to endure hardships in order that others may call on Jesus when they find hardships as well. Think of it as a blessing from God if you are enduring something right now. It means that God has confidence, pride, and courage in you. He believes in you and knows that you are strong enough to handle it. And if it ever gets to a breaking point for you, just remember, God has promised that He will never give us more than we can handle. (I Corinthians 10:13)
May God Bless You All,
Ashley
