Life Goes On

When tragedy and loss happens, we sometimes feel like we cannot go on. We wonder how we are going to be from one day to the next. We look at life around us differently. We look at things as temporary and meaningless. Our minds are clouded with negativity to the point that we want to give up on hope and what we believe in.

Sometimes it even takes months or years for someone to get a grasp on reality again. We often feel like we are existing but not living like we want to. When tragedy happens, it takes a toll on how we think and feel about things. It often makes us examine ourselves to see how we are on the inside. Tragedy and loss is like drinking sour lemonade, it doesn’t taste good. It’s not good for the heart, or soul.

Tragedy and loss can cause someone to become bitter, angry, and filled with hate. We forget that life goes on even after bad things happen. We cannot stop living just because tragedy and loss happens. We have to dig down deep as hard as it may be, dig our feet in and keep going on.

We cannot let the bad things that happen stop us from having a happy life. Trials come to make us strong. Jesus is with us through everything we go through. We never have to face circumstances alone. Because He lives, we live. We can go on living because He lives. Life goes on even into eternity. God bless, and stay safe. Thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul.
