It\u2019s ok for us to release and feel the pain sometimes but we also don\u2019t want to let these things keep us down forever. Everything that we go through in life is meant to help us, to purify our souls, to strengthen us and to give us the ability to empathize with the pains and sufferings of others.<\/p>\n<p>When we feel like it\u2019s too hard, let\u2019s remember that we\u2019re not alone. There is a God who is closer than we think who knows our needs and sorrows individually. Who is ready to help us during the hardest challenges as well as during the easiest of times. It\u2019s part of life and the schooling that we\u2019re meant to go through on this earth, for us to learn from experience. It\u2019s during those times that we can allow ourselves (when we\u2019re ready) to change our thinking and to choose to grow from the pain, to not allow ourselves to focus on our sorrows but instead to turn our hearts to others who may need our help. Or, if we ourselves need healing first, we can look inwardly with love, kindness and a willingness to reach out to others who love us and who are willing to help us strengthen ourselves during our healing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things we can do during the hardest times is to turn our heart and soul to look for LOVE \u2764\ufe0f the love that we experience in our lives. We can Look for love in the faces of your children, in the love from our spouse, family members and friends. It\u2019s during those times that we need to surround ourselves by love, which helps to heal and allow us to feel the love of God in our lives as well.<\/p>\n<p>When we focus on love the pain begins to lessen and the more that we allow ourselves to feel love for ourselves and others, the better we begin to feel. Just remember that these challenges will strengthen you. You will not stay down but you will choose to rise above focusing on the love that you feel around you. Remember to kneel in prayer and talk to your creator who LOVES YOU! \u2764\ufe0f who is ready to fill your soul with peace and to lift you up, so that you may be a light to others as well. So, Allow yourself to be open to feeling His light and love. Don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re never alone and that you can do this one day at a time. ???<\/p>\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n<p>Lili ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The challenges and difficulties that we experience can be so hard sometimes.
