Who knows what life will throw at you? Who knows what to do when it happens? Feeling the way I am feeling makes me wonder what life is all about. I thought it was about living and being happy, but when the struggles come, how do we make it through the hard times?
I look at the world and all of the things that's going on and I wonder why? Why does things have to be this way? Why can't there be peace, love, joy, and happiness? Why does there have to be so much hate, heartbreak, heartache, pain, sadness, catastrophe, violence, suffering, shame, disappointment, anger, confusion, conflict, contempt, controversy, destruction, despair, and catastrophe? When will things ever be in order as they should?
I can't stand seeing people suffering. I can't stand seeing people homeless. What is this world coming to? I thought love conquered all, but it doesn't seem as if it does. All I see is what I don't like. Does anyone else see what they don't like? Will anyone else speak out about what they don't like going on in the world? What kind of people would we be if we didn't speak out about the things that we are concerned about, and the things that are currently going on in the world around us?
Look at what's going on around the world. Look at the wars that's going on. Look at all of the innocent people young and old who've lost their lives, and for what!?!? This world is not ours to be fighting over. We live in this world because it is where we reside for now, it's not our permanent home; it's only temporary until Jesus Christ returns, or we go home before He does.
You may wonder why I am speaking the way I am. I am speaking this way because it needs to be said. When I started writing this article, I didn't know it was going to be this way. I suppose it was on my heart and I didn't know it until now, otherwise it would have been written a long time ago. This was supposed to be about making it through the hard times, but when you think about it, we are living in the hard times. You may ask how are we living in the hard times well, look at everything going on in the world. Look at the economy. Look at the prices on merchandise. Does that answer your question?
Things has gone wrong since COVID-19 reared its ugly head in the world. Nothing has been right since. Making it through the hard times will take lots of prayer, and having faith that things will be alright. We can't give up when hard times come. Trials come to make us strong, and to grow our faith. With that being said, stay safe, stay prayed up, and keep God first in all things. He is the only One who can bring us through these hard times.
