THE LORD IS ALWAYS MINDFUL
Wow has my life blown apart the last little while. I won't go into specifics since it's all personal. But needless to say, my emotional state is very fragile. One day I can be happy and on cloud nine and then without warning I can be lower than low.
I won't lie, It sucks!
But through all the times of doubt and trial, I know someone is watching over me. Sending me friends when I need them most, Sending family and even random strangers to wish you a great day.
Trials are not meant to drag you down and bury you alive. Although they can feel like that most of the time and you wonder and worry how will I ever get out from underneath them. There is only one way to emerge from trials victorious and with the lessons you needed to learn.
That's with the Lord.
He strengthens the weary arms that have carried burdens for so many years. He helps you stand when you no longer have the strength and He comforts when the arrows of the world have pierced your soul.
He knows what trials and struggles we all face, but he waits to help us until we ask him. Unfair you may say... Cruel you may say... Actually it is very wise indeed.
He knows that we need Him, He is willing to give us the chance to find that out for ourselves. I find it interesting that even the staunchest Athiest, when faced with a something so overwhelming and nearly hopeless will at one point offer a prayer to a loving Father they never wanted to know before.
Just as a child can learn from his/her parents, I have had to rely on my Savior and my Father in Heaven for strength to face the day. I know without a shadow of doubt, that I am still alive today because of them. I have seen miracles in my life. Miracles that only come because I have faith in them. Faith that they will always be there and that they are mindful of me and my trials and that I matter to them.
If I matter to them, how much do you matter to them? More than you can ever imagine. On days when you want to give up... or just cannot go on... they are always near and will help you in ways that matter the most. It may not be material, but it is immeasurable.
There is beauty all around us, if we only stop and take the time to realize all we have and how it can disappear within a matter of seconds.
Treasure life...
Treasure those closest to you...
And know you are worth it!
