He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly,
and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
Dear Friend
You can’t hide the joy of the Lord because your eyes speak volumes. Sad people can "put on a brave face" and pretend all is well just as happy people can try to disguise their feelings. Dare to give yourself the chance to be honest about your feelings. You don’t need to pretend to be fine all the time because if you are struggling there is help, hope and healing. Take the first step, to be honest and ask for help. You are braver than you think, and God loves you! Proverbs 15:13 - “A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.” My prayer. Lord, you promised to give me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Thank you so that I can feel and give my emotions to you. I want to be called a tree of righteousness, and the planting of the LORD, that You might be glorified (Isaiah 61:3). You are my Hope and Saviour. You fill me with gladness and lift my spirit to praise You. Thank You for Your love and grace. Amen. God loves you!
