When Your Feelings Are Hurt

When your feelings are hurt, things get kind of sad don't they? I know. It's hard to keep your spirits up, and no matter how hard you try, things just don't seem to want to change. You try to think of things to do, but you're always running out. Does the Lord hate you? Sometimes you can start to feel this way. Of course, deep down, the Lord can save anybody, but its hard to tell, sometimes.

My feelings got hurt once, and I've never been back. There was a time once, when I thought the sadness was ending, but that was temporary. Perhaps I had a chance at salvation. I don't know. Of course there's no going back, only going forward.

Lots of famous people might deal with the same regrets in some way, only to find that they did OK. I don't know if this is the story for me. I've seen things change in this world, and I don't think its for the better, but I try to keep thinking in the positive.

Some things in the world are pleasing, and some are terrible. I've seen many terrible things. Bad attitudes, poor conduct, bigotry, disassociation. I've never lived in a war zone, but it's frightening here. These are all negative things that I can't stand, and can't seem to defend myself from them either. They simply cover me, and I don't know if I'll live sometimes. Pretty tough, wouldn't you say?

So you've got to find a way to help your feelings. But our feelings seem to depend on something else sometimes. What do they depend on? Grace, perhaps. I used to not like to think too deeply about these kinds of things, but nowadays, it's how I spend a great deal of time. I guess its important to pray, and try to think about the right things to do sometimes. Each day, I kind of say a prayer, hoping that day will work out, and that something good will take the place of the anger and sadness that I seem to carry on with. Praying for miracles may not be the right way out of a crisis, but I suppose I throw my number in there every now and then. It might be important to represent and take a chance every now and then. Real fortunes, as we know, are not a matter of chance. So I keep trying to earn them. Piece by piece.
