I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.
I know people right now that are going through some messed up situations and it’s rough to think about, more or less go through.
My mind has been blown away with stuff that has been happening to people I know and don’t know.
I have friends and loved ones that are struggling to make it through the day, hoping that today goes better than yesterday or that there is still hope for tomorrow.
There is still hope in the roughest of times.
A while ago there was a rough point in my life.
I worked with a person that made me feel like garbage.
This person made my life miserable for a year.
I would show up to work early (Like 5 or 6 a.m.) just so I wouldn’t have to see them, because a good day was when I didn’t have to see or talk to them.
They made me feel miserable.
After a surprise meeting with all my bosses that this person scheduled, I felt useless and unwanted.
I didn’t eat for two straight days and just wanted to check out.
By the second day, I told Hailee I was fasting, she knew better.
During this time I begged God to get me out of this situation and constantly wondered why he didn’t.
It was a struggle and I hated going through that.
It was a bad year.
Through that, I still knew Jesus was there.
I wanted instant help and it sucked it wasn’t happening as quickly as I wanted.
I learned a lot on faith and hope through that year.
He was watching over me and took care of me even when I didn’t believe he was.
Sometimes we have to go through bad situations to make sure we appreciate what we have in the later.
Jesus said this in John 11:25-26…
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever live and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesus was talking to Martha, a lady whose brother just died.
They were in a rough moment of life.
Jesus gave them hope because of their faith in him.
Martha went and got Mary and brought her to Jesus, they both told him, if you were here, there brother would have lived.
They were in tears, and Jesus felt this too.
Verse 35 explains Jesus being distraught, “Jesus wept.”
Jesus did cry and having true emotions.
The Jews said this in verse 36, “See how he loved him!”
Just how Jesus loved Lazarus, Mary, and Martha, he loves us.
Jesus cares for us and gives us hope when nothing else does.
Bad things happen in life.
For some of my friends, my mind is wrecked with what they are going through.
I have been through some messed up situations in my life, and know it’s not easy.
But Jesus cares for us, even when we feel like he’s not there, he is.
Verses 25-26 explain when you have faith in Jesus, believe that he died for our sins that even when we die and leave this earth, we will have eternal life.
Sad things happen in life.
My heart and prayers go out to my loved ones that are going through that storm in their lives right now.
There is still hope, not because of me, but because of Jesus.
There is a hope that only Jesus can give.
Are you ready to give your life for a better life?
Do you want hope when there is none?
Jesus did this for me in my bad time, and he can do this for you.
Have a great day.
