I could bother you with my life, but that's not what you want, right? You want the good stuff... The stuff that's on everyone's mind but no one's willing to say... Well, are you ready???
Suck it up. Suck it up. Suck it up.
That's pretty harsh to say, huh? Shall I explain or leave it at that?
Well... life is not a bowl of peaches. Life will suck at times. Life will get rough at times. Life will be rough right now maybe. You will stub your toe umpteen times on umpteen different things. You will get sick, have a huge paper the next day, and your best friend will be a jerk to you-- all in the same day. You will get ripped off. Life will get boring. Life will get too busy. Life will get painful. Life will get very painful.
And... this will happen to everybody. Everybody. You are not alone. Pain is a part of life. "But you don't understand my life," you'll say. Well, I know of people being tortured, raped, beaten, and spat upon all in a single day... So... Tell me... Do I need to understand?
Why does this happen?
I do not know.
"Satan would not attack you if you weren't doing something right."
"It's God's will."
"You're being punished."
"You're being tested."
These are some answers that I've heard... But I will not tell you that any or none of them are the right answers. What I will say is....
GOD LOVES YOU. IF HE DIDN'T THINK YOU COULDN'T HANDLE WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, HE WOULD END IT.
Jesus Christ is the perfect example of this.
When we ask Him despairlingly, "God, why did You put me through this?!?"
I would hope He would be heart-broken and say, "This is when you were closest to me and you grew the most."
Shalom.
