attempt suicide. In their grief, people lose the sense of who they are.
What we need to know is that, the path of life is travelled by the vehicle of growth. Growth is painful, there are days you are down, there are days you are on the top, and this is how beautiful the journey is. As far as we are travelers the type of things we go through are not permanent. Pains, hurt, disappointment, shame, failure, are all part of the journey, as well as joy, happiness, laughter.
You can be happy in your sadness, you can be joyful in your hurt, and you can be laughing in your pains, by knowing it won't last. The way to do that is to train your mind to see good in every situation. That's why the bible says "No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus" - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (TLB).
To be able to do that, you have to learn to ignore people who think they know more about you than your Creator; people who try to laugh at you, people who try to insult you, people who reject you, people who blame you. People who make you feel bad, people who hurt your feelings.
Trying to prevent them is like trying to stop the rain from falling. What you can do is to let it rain and wait for the sunshine. Wait for your testimony; wait for what the Lord has for you.
Stay in tune with God, be patient, for everything will come to you at the right time, for the bible says "God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and He puts questions in our minds about the past and the future" - Ecclesiastes 3:11 (CEV).
The good news is, what is coming is far more better than what you are going through. The same people laughing at you today will feel ashamed and can't even come closer to you tomorrow. The same people rejecting you today will come begging for your friendship.
God wants to have the last say in your life, He allowed you to go through all these bad times so He can glory Himself in your life. When people are busily putting you down, God is waiting to pick you up.
There are reasons why when you are happy you enjoy the tunes of songs but when you are sad you understand the words. God wants you to understand His words concerning your life such as "You are altogether lovely, my darling, and no blemish is in you" - Song of Songs 4:7 (TLV). God is happy with you, God loves you and that is why He has given you another day, a new opportunity. God is not done with you.
May the good LORD take care of your needs, touch your life with joy and contentment, bless your heart with love and faith, comfort you and grant you inner peace to hold onto to the sunshine, to fasten your seat belt for there is a beautiful destination ahead
