"Lately I get excited about little simple things, I do not expect happiness though, I don’t know If I even want it, I’ve gotten beyond that honestly, it’s surely isn’t the mission we are supposed to achieve on earth, so from now on, no happiness for me, just joy, like the Bible puts it.
We aren’t supposed to try so hard to be happy, we are supposed to trust, and never worry, never doubt, and we should always keep going, some people I met told me that they did not want to live anymore, they got no hope, no peace, but your years are very numbered, and as long as you are alive, there is a reason, I keep going, I really don’t know why I bother doing so many things that I do, maybe the only option we have is to survive, every now and then there will be moments of utter joy, and there will be times when it hurts very much inside your heart,
we can all agree on that, what hurts me isn’t being hurt myself, I take good care of myself and my emotions, what breaks my heart is seeing those I dearly love hurt,
lately my mother has been very sad about my father’s illness, and I’m always hearing her cry in her room, but oneday she came to me while I was studying and she was like “Would you like a snack?” she said it with a smiling face, pushing her hair behind her ear, I couldn’t believe it, she was smiling! How do I love seeing her smile! Those tears are very precious to me, even though I’m only a sinful human it killed me to know she is in so much pain, then how about our almighty God, when He looks down and watch us go through so much pain and heartache?
I bet He cries with us, when Lazarus died, Martha and Mary his sisters were weeping and saying If Jesus was there, he wouldn’t have died, Jesus didn’t tell them “Hey wait, stop crying, start smiling, I’ll bring him back.” Instead, He felt their killing pain, and He wept with them, He cried with them, He didn’t tell them anything because He knew what was about to happen, it was going to be alright, He knew that, but He didn’t disrespect their feelings, He shared them.
I remember when my bestfriend’s dad passed away, it was all so sudden, I wasn’t talking to her right before it because we have disagreed about something and I acted so foolishly and ruined it, then I knew about her dad, I went to her and she was in her room crying, just back from school still with her school uniform, and just finding out about it, she was so confused, I didn’t talk at all, we just hugged and we both wept, I knew her dad wasn’t going to come back, but I knew that things will be alright, It has to, God is merciful, it has to get better, He knows, sees, feels and most importantly, He acts!"
