There comes a time after painful events when you just have to get to a point of getting on with life again. It is a sad fact but life does go on for the living and no matter how much we wish we could just curl up in a cave and die ourselves, that is not what God expects of us.
My dad used to have a saying, "pull yourself towards yourself". It never made much sense but looking at it now I see how true it is. Painful events take something from us and we loose a part of ourselves in the process that goes into hiding because we cannot bare to show that part of ourselves to the world at that point.
Like it or not we have to force ourselves to come out of that place of hiding and deal with life and all its turmoil, but also life and all its joys. We have to get back to doing the things we love and we have to find a way to open up our hearts again to not only feel joy but love also.
Remember at all times that, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!"
