I would have said it will get better but I know how it feels hearing that over and over again and yet it feels like nothing is happening at all and hearing people say it sounds so meaningless and makes you even want to give them a slap.
There were lots of times when I wanted to give up so badly and no I'm not just saying it for the sake of my blog. In those times, I remembered that there is a plan for me, a plan for you. I mean look at it, you're still alive because there's still something you have to archive.
You might think "Oh what does she know about hardship?" Well hardship comes to anyone. Even a child could experience hardship as a result of his/her environment or background. Tough times could leave you in confused states, could make you cry and cry over again and at the moment that's all you can do because it looks like things can't get any better. It could make you weak and frustrated, not eat for days and can't seem to find yourself any more.
But the good thing is, those tough times could actually end up being the best experience you could use to encourage someone. Everyone has a past and well you can't say it completely dies off but your PAST builds you into a better person in the PRESENT time to make your FUTURE beautiful. Just look at it that God is preparing you for a great future that's why he wants you to go through all thesee things so that you can be stronger. Take gold for an example, it doesn't look like the beautiful gold people see now when it's gotten in raw state at first. It has to go through so many difficult and tough processes just to come out beautiful and catch the eyes of people.
Process is the word. For a plan to be achieved, there has to be a process. Just trust the process babies. Good things take time remember? And you are a good thing in the eyes of God.
So take it that you're that Gold that God wants to perfect and so he's making you go through all these things which are the processes we're talking about and so you can come out more beautiful than how you were. And trust him, he's not going to let you go through it alone. He's always going to be there for you through people and through his word....you will always feel his presence one way or another just trust him.
If you look around your life now, you'll know definitely who God has brought to your life. Just as I said in my last post, God has allowed some people in your life for certain reasons or purposes.
I won't say in this life I overcame things alone...of course not. I had people that were there for me and God used them. They make sure I pick myself back up whenever I fall. They go a long length to encourage me and lift my spirit.
And of course I can say that everything I've gone through has taught me a lesson. I had God's word for assurance whenever I started to loose courage.
My parents will always give me bible verses to read and meditate: Phil.4:13; Psalm 50:15; Is.41:10; Luke 18:1. (If you have time, I'll appreciate if you read them at least once)
My best is Is.41:10; it gives you that feeling of safety and strength. It makes you know that you're loved and you're not alone and you're strong enough to do anything.
My parents are always there for me and are always there to let me know that I'm not alone. Parents are blessings from God
So yeah don't give up lovelies. Meet people if you can. Share your problems(with the right people of course) They say a problem shared is a problem half solved if the problem is shared with the right friends) Like my mum will say, humble yourself and ask for help. Don't be proud, because you're the one who needs help so you have to be humble.
Go to God in prayer to lead you to the right people; to your helpers. He will answer you
You might think it's taking too long and it might be frustrating but hold on to him. Go to him everytime to show him how much you need him.
I have been there before; looking at it now if anyone told me then that a solution will come, I would have taken it so hard to believe but with encouragement from the right people, I chose to hold on to God once more. And I don't even know how it happened but he just did it. He made sure I didn't make any decisions that I will regret in the future. He came through and he will always come through .
One thing you need to know is that God can never want bad for you. No matter the sin you've commited, don't ever think you're more than condemned to go to him. He loves you too much to let you suffer alone.
Whatever you are going through he's aware of it and just know it's for a good reason and he will be with you through it all and at the end you will be happy that you trusted him and didn't give up and of course when that happens don't forget to thank him)
He's the only way you can overcome the troubles of life, not people because he's the one that brings those people to help you. So say to yourself all the time, "I'm not alone and I'm not weak. I can do it and I will conquer."
