Sometimes people get so beaten down that they forget to look around and see what’s really around them. They focus on the pain and forget the beauty of this great world we live in. God didn’t put us here to merely suffer and endure. He put us here to live and love. He didn’t say I’m going to make you all suffer for the rest of your lives, I just want you to learn from your mistakes. When my daughter does something wrong and I have to give her a time-out or some punishment, I don’t want her to suffer for that one little mistake for the rest of her life…I want her to learn from it so she can be happy. God wants the same for us. And as long as we hold our hope close to us and believe we can change things, then we can. Belief can move mountains. I know that sometimes I sound like a hallmark card, but I’ve seen the worst in life and believe in the best. And if a person can do that, he or she can do anything.
