I was sitting here this morning wondering what I could write
about. What has touched my heart this
past week? What has impacted my life to
the point I would want to write about it? Then
it hit me. I’m sure everyone has
experienced a situation or time in your life when you think, is it really that
bad? Or how could this person possibly
believe this? How could they think this? How could they act this way?
You’ve heard the saying, ‘walk a day in my shoes’? The next time you are wondering how someone
could do or say such a thing….stop and ask yourself how they must be
feeling. Try to imagine what they are
going through. Everyone is struggling
with something or fighting their own battles.
While what we see on the outside, may be something totally different on
the inside.
I was in a Church meeting this past weekend and this kind
soul was expressing some very deep feelings, and while what he felt about
himself, was something so very different from what others felt about him. He was struggling with self-doubt and feeling
guilty about being in a certain situation or circumstance. His totally humbling attitude really made me
stop and think about how different everyone is and how everyone has a story to
tell. We all need to stop judging from the
outside without giving a second thought to what someone may be struggling with
on the inside. We are all broken in some
way and until we come to terms with that and God, we will continue to
struggle. Trust in God and know that he
has died for our sins. Once we believe
that and trust in him, he will show us the way! For when we are even at our lowest point, he will not fail us. He is always there, but at times he has to carry us ...leaving only one set of footprints in the sand.
We all have a story to tell.
Take time to think about yours and how God has played a part in your
story! Look back and I’m sure even those
unanswered prayers brought you to be what you are today......STRONGER!
