Feeling like there is nothing but misery on this earth...
darren:
This earth is a beautiful place. It's just humans that make the world evil miserable. Not all humans. You must unplug from the rat race stop and look around at the beauty that God has given us to enjoy. At times I feel as you. I was told by a great man once before i go to bed stop to thank The Lord for the comforts you have. Such as the roof over my head, my bed that i sleep on the pillows I rest my head on the heat in winter the a/c in summer. Lets not forget the ones that truly love you no matter what hell you put them through. If you have pets thank The Lord for them also. They love you always. Do this every night before bed. When you wake up in the morning getting ready for the day look yourself in that mirror and tell the Lord thank you for this day. Out loud, This will be a good day a positive day I will stop and see the beauty You have given me. In Jesus name I give thanks .Sounds weird but I try ed it for 1week everynight and everyday. What did I Have to loose. Hey Katrina took everything away from me except my love ones, which is all that matter to me so I gave it shot. after a week I notice a difference in my attitude, my out look on life was changing so I continue to carry on everynight,everyday. I still have my moments but not as often.
OH YEA It was Ray who said thank God for the everyday things you have.
Thanks,
Darren

Hi Jase,
I can relate to how you feel. I think that a little piece of all that everyone has responded should help and be some encouragement for you. It is funny how we go through all these cycles of emotions. It is tough most times. I wil pray for you and that your spirits are lifted!
Much love from your sister in Christ- Heather. :)

I was looking at all the little icons on here... and I think all the faces remind me of what I'm feeling as I read this thread. I think it's one of the better ones that have been on for a long while. The reason being... everyone goes through the same things. It doesn't matter if we're rich.. we worry about how to spend... if we're poor we don't have that worry, but we then have concerns about a roof over our heads, food to eat, clothes for our backs. If we are well.. we worry about maintaining our health.. if we're sick we worry about how to function in a world that needs us to function... about how to find relief from pain, etc. This is LIFE... and we're here to LEARN all that God has for us to learn.
The thing I find encouraging in the message is that... when we suffer, when we see our children suffer, we can look at them and say... God's got something IN this situation that he is teaching us... and we can take comfort in that because trials only last for a little while... and will benefit us if we just fall back into HIS arms of love and trust that He's in control. My husband and I have found sooooo MUCH comfort in the things we've learned through Rays teachings. We were lost for a while after he died.. "LIKE NOW WHAT"? But we have a heavenly Father who teaches us through His spirit... and each day actually becomes exciting... wondering what's next. I see Him working in my children.. (where as I used to lay awake in bed, stressing about them).
I do believe the main thing is to LOVE each other, and know that God is working in us all... that's why we like BT's.... it's been quite a ride.
Love you all...
Dennis & Connie

Just wanted to ask a quick question in regards to how you all feel about your time left on this planet.. do you enjoy it? some of it? none of it?
Lately everything just feels likes it is getting worse and worse and I cannot seem to find anything good or anything worth even getting enthused at. I feel like every single day left on the planet will be nothing BUT misery.
I know in the end God will save the whole world but that seems like a million years away..

There sure is plenty of misery on this earth. Then again we have these special moments in our lives. These moments make our lives bareable. As Ray always said by the grace of God. Sometimes i get overwhelmed with the amount of pain and suffering it makes me upset and sad. This is when i thank God for all theblessings He has bestowed upon me. Not just the love I'm souround with but all the thing we might not think of much. Electricity, hot and cold running water, the roof over my head and the bed i sleep in and much more. By the grace of God i i don't live where i have to walk to a river could be miles away and carry buckets of water to a dwelling with no electric ,dirt floor, and living in real poverty. thanks be to God. My heart goes out for these people. Once again, only by the grace of God there goes me.
