sadness... Has anyone wondered why God allowed sadness to enter the world? I was set thinking today, when I realised I've been looking at sad faces around me for a while now. maybe its the time of the year when people are leaving after finishing their courses. Sadness is what I'd like to term, a silent emotion. People who carry it doesn't know it shows, but it shines so evidently on their faces, that it tears apart the hearts of the people around them. Are you the kind of person who responds to the feelings of the people close to you? When they are close to your heart, does it feel like whatever is causing them to be sad has reached you too? I was wondering why God allows people to be sad and distressed, but I forgot to see how He picks them up again. How his hands are in every situation, how He's loving warmth and kindness surrounds the sorrowful hearts and keep them close to His own. I realised that I have forgotten once again to see what God tries to do to bring his hurting children back to him. I remember a time, when God made it snow ever so beautifully, the heaviest in 14 years in London. Because He knew I was sad, He wanted to show me that the world He made is beautiful, and really, He didnt intend for sorrow to darken our hearts and paths. The Lord heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. He is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in the spirit. Are you sad today? I say to you, call on the Lord your God, and know that He will deliver you and carry you through the straight path ahead. Lift up your burdens and sorrows and know that they have been traded for, some 2000 years ago on the cross. For this, I'd like to think... is the reason why God allows sadness, so that people will find comfort in Him, and realise what happiness is. |
