MY GRASS IS GREENER?

I have lately been exposed to alot (!) of depressing news and facts of life. So many people out there going through tough and rough experiences in life which only them know how much pain they have to bear to get through just another day.

When I have to go through painful moments I always feel sorry for myself and thinking that they are the worst of all, and at times start to question God whether He still loves me the same? In fact, I mean looking at other people and their circumstances - I think God has been more loving day after day, year after year toward me. I'm not saying God then doesn't love others more because their circumstances are worse than mine, but He just knows (above anything/one else) how much one can bear, and He definitely knew how much was enough for me.

My heart just goes out to those who are experiencing terrible terrible conditions and problems. With all that I had to go through I think it just made me more and more able to emphatise with others, although mine weren't as bad as theirs. It must be hard!

Another encouragement for me though - seeing believers who have to face difficulties in life yet standing strong in the Lord, it makes all the differences.

If there were no God - I think I would be all lost and depressed, don't we all think the same?

So to all of you out there - don't get discouraged when things are not working out well and if you are hurting - know that you are just gonna be made stronger and wiser through it all - and most of all you'll just be one step closer to knowing our Creator for who He really is!
