For you who were hurt

I talked to a friend who never lost her faith. She came to visit us and told us the things she went through lately. What I already knew is that she saw her first husband pass away after a long time in the wheelchair, with his health declining slowly. She has a son with a disability. She lost a son for depression, not more than 2 years ago. As if it wasn't enough, her husband left after she discovered his affair, that felt like a stab in her back. This is a friend I admire with all my heart. Although life was not kind with her, she is the strongest and sweetest person I know. If she was the one to tell me anything, I would certainly hear and accept anything she had to tell me. She has more than the right to say something, this woman is the resilience in person. But she never, NEVER judged me or anyone else. Differently from others, who never went through half of what she has been through, she didn't have any judgmental words. Everything I know about her is that she always helped others, she was always selfless, always giving back the best although life gave her so many tears and pain. Despite it all, she always had an attentive ear, always had a helping hand to lend, always had consolation. This weekend, her son with disability ran away at night and went to the streets. We could call him and ask him to come back. Thank goodness he arrived today. But coming back to her visit, she was telling us about how many hurtful things she had to hear from people who are bitter and inconvenient. Then I noticed who are the true God servants and who are not. I don't even know if someone who says hurtful things to someone that has already been through so much has a heart, but I know God sees and God makes justice, I'm not the one to judge. But I understood that what God wants is us to stick together, that we give consolation and support to one another. Everyone who comes to their neighbor bringing humiliating words instead of a helping hand, trying to step on the mild person and hurt their heart instead of healing and compassionate words, I'm sure this one does not know God. Matthew 5 says: "3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." I almost lost my faith. But thanks to this friend, I will endure and follow her example of resilience. I refuse to become someone bitter, because if there is still good in this world, we still have hope. We are not here to judge anyone. And for you who read until here, don't hear unkind words from people who became bitter. Don't think the worst day of your life cannot be overcame. Don't be mean to yourself. Never doubt God loves you regardless of anything. Never doubt God's love. Never lose your hope. Sending hugs for you. You are not alone. Have a peaceful week. 🙏🙏🙏
