What Do You Believe?
What do you believe about life? What do I? Is it true? In a world that is full of hard things, do we start to believe that life is impossibly miserable and pointless? Or do we trust that God has a good plan, and notice that there are still people who are kind and loving? Do we see how beautiful nature is? There are weeds, and thistles, but there are also flowers, and butterflies! There is disease, and misery and death, but there is also hope, and resilience, and life!
While I don't believe it is always easy to do (or I wouldn't spend so much time believing negative things about myself), we do get to choose what we believe. In moments of exhaustion, or when people aren't treating us well, or when we see piles of problems, it would be good to stop and remember that God hasn't forgotten us, that life can get better, that other people do not decide our worth, and that problems, if handled with as much faith as we are able to muster, can make us stronger, kinder, and more compassionate people.
