The truth. Who really understands us? Who really knows everything about us? Who knows just how we feel, or how badly we are hurting inside, or have been hurt? Can anyone tell you that they know EXACTLY how you are feeling? How you are hurting?

Whether you have emotional/mental scars or physical scars, whether you are angry, or you are just hurt, who can truly KNOW how our emotions effect each of us? We are all different, unique individuals. Yes, we do face many similar problems in many cases, but can anyone truly know how those problems really make YOU feel? What impacts one person one way, may not impact another in that same exact manner.

So who has the right to tell someone else that they aren't suffering, that they aren't hurting? Don't we ALL have a right to feel our own emotions, and I mean ALL of our emotions? I have never met anyone on this earth that hasn't suffered some kind of pain or scar, never met anyone that has never made a mistake, but yet I have met many people that try to tell others that they have no right to feel as they do.

Pain is pain, hurt is hurt, we all have different ways of healing from our pain, but some pain takes longer to heal from then others. Physical scars many times heal much faster then emotional/mental scars ever will, but yet there are some that feel that emotional scars aren't as important and that they don't matter. But emotional scars run deeper and each person has different depths to those scars, so why is it that some just don't believe that the pain can be the same, if not worse for some people?

Many people don't truly know me, or know all I have been through, but I know pain, just as many others do on this earth. So I am no one to tell someone else that they don't feel pain, or can't possibly be hurting, because I know that they can. I always knew that God was in my life, but often questioned Him over why things always seemed to go bad in my life. I many times would cry out and beg Him to take my life, to just end it for me because I didn't want to move forward another day. But now as I look back, I now see many things that I feel He wanted me to endure, many things He needed me to face and to see, because now I KNOW that only HE knows ME. Only He knows me inside and out, and He knows that as long as I reach out and remember, that it don't matter what anyone else thinks or feels about me, that only He is what matters, because He is the only one that knows us, and knows our hearts, and our intentions. He knows the TRUTH about us, and knows our pain, our suffering, and He knows just how to heal us from those things that we face. Now when things get rough, I no longer ask Him to take my life, but instead ask Him what journey is He taking me on now, what lessons am I to learn, because I know He will never lie to me, or hurt me, for He knows me better then anyone, just as He knows all of you!

So please never allow anyone to tell you that your feelings don't count, that they aren't important, that they aren't as bad as you feel, because God knows the TRUTH as to your suffering, and HE is the one that knows how to pull you through it. Believe Him, and His message to all of you, not the whispers of those that don't truly KNOW you like He does.

Have a blessed day in the Lord, and May He help brighten all of your days.
