A silent struggle

It sucks being in a situation where you knew about something bad but you have to keep your mouth shut and not alarm anyone. Knowing for the fact that calamity and hardship is at someone's doorstep but you just cant tell that person..seeing that person living behind lies and having this temporary happiness that will soon end up in quarrels is killing me...the frustrating part is THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO HELP.. Its like watching someone you love dying infront of you but you just cant do anything to help him/her. When I heard the news, I was devastated.. But there's really nothing I can do but just to pray to God... Seeing people fall hard from where they stand is heartbreaking...seeing people unable to grip the reality in life and move on, to put aside their pride and ego, to face the fact in life..to be real to themselves. But again...who am I to judge?? Its complicated and I'm sorry if I give you all a headache reading this post..wondering what am I trying to say.. All I can say is LIFE is a long lesson to learn. Sometimes we do fail the test that God put forth for us.. but this is what the bible says.. 2 corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith, test yourselves. Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, ofcourse, you fail the test? Sometimes through failure will men seek God, through failure will men learn to trust and lean on Him..so that God's true power will be revealed. It is not the rich and powerful that needs the Lord but the poor and weak.. As human, we always avoid failures and when failure hits us, we blame others...we try our best to hide it so that no one knows...shhh...don't tell anyone..We like to be seen when we are successful and well to do..to boost about our achievements.. We look down upon those who failed and making them to be shunned. BUT.... Didnt not Jesus dine in the house of the tax collectors?? Did not Jesus reach out to those prostitute on the streets?? Make a difference people... We should never look down on anyone..even if that person failed.. Not just that, we should always encourage that person to stand firm again.. There is always a 2nd chance for everyone..failure is not the end..it is a fresh beginning of success.. Edison failed hundreds of times before he successfully created the light bulb!!!Amen to that..to his perseverance!! To stare failure into the eye and say...IM NOT GONNA REPEAT THAT again!!! I'm ending this with Matthew 6:25-27 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? When failure strickes, don't worry.. Faith and trust will bring you through...=)=)=)
