"It's okay to cry. It is more than okay to be human and feel sadness for whatever you're going through. Just don't stay in that place. I find it's so easy to just want to stay down once your down but we were built with the strength to get back up. "Though weeping endure in the night, joy comes in the morning." I used to take this bible verse in a literal context. Thinking I cry but then Im all better the next day. No. That's not how it works. I think what that verse is promising is that you may fall, hurt, and feel pain, but that it will pass. You'll eventually (in your own time) be overcome with peace, with that comfort, even joy, that can only come from God's grace, because nothing else can explain how you snapped back from a place of such despair. So don't be afraid to cry. To be human. We have to process our emotions, and know God doesn't expect us to be happy all the time but what He does expect, is for us to try our best not to dwell in that unhappiness; to remember His promises and to let Him be strong for us when we are at our weakest. Don't forget that you are made strong. You have God in you so nothing can hold you down forever. Only if you continue to try and carry those "weights" (problems) on your own without the help of God's grace, and without prayer, does it become so heavy that life is unbearable. So as easy as it is to let a terrible event turn into a terrible life and eventually yourself into a terrible person, DON'T. Just put a stop to it. REMIND yourself this:
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." - Isaiah 40:29
We are made stronger by those tears, not weaker. Dont let your own head fool you into believing you can't handle any problem this world hands you." - Brianna Colleen Carey ©
