Many a time life has pushed us to the limits, to the point of questioning the existence of god. During such grim periods, we tend to ask, why me? We search every corner of our hearts and mind to see the wrong we’ve done but see none. We feel like we are in a void and no one can reach out to us and even tell us a word that would bring us comfort. We feel so angry that we decide we have had enough of God and can’t pray to him anymore. As human beings, we suffer from selective amnesia. In such situations, we forget all the good we have ever had and focus on the little negativity. Yes, you don’t have shoes, but did you know that there is someone somewhere with no feet? You can’t afford a huge turkey for Thanksgiving, did you know that someone somewhere hasn’t had anything to eat for three days? My word today isn’t of condemnation though. It is of encouragement. Sometimes when things get too cloudy and you can’t see beyond your nose, know that you are not alone in your predicament. When you can’t see any help coming your way, don’t stress out or even start blaming others. Don’t curl in a corner and cry yourself to sleep. When the night is too thick and your heart is filled with fear, all you have to do is reach out. Wonders lie where we least expect. Jesus Christ is that magical light that switches on when all others go off. Jesus Christ is the biggest comfort when our hearts sorrow. He is the hand that reaches out, pick us up when we fall by the road. My word today is, when you think you are alone in the darkness, all you have to do is open your eyes.
