Life is hard. Even for those of us who know this already, when life throws a punch and you go down hard, you realize it all over again. When you know that there are important things to be done, lives to be saved, souls to be won, the world can still knock you down and convince you to stay down. At least for a little while.
The world, life, it can all pile up and press down on you until you collapse. Then what can you do? You lie there, looking up at the world, at the demons of your past, at those heavy things that are so hard, so pressing, and sometimes you just think Why?
Some people would say I was wrong for thinking that, especially wrong for honestly writing it down, but I know we all think it from time to time. (If you truly don't, that's wonderful, and I do respect you for that.) There are times when the world crushes you, beats you down, and you can no longer breathe.
After a while, however, you have to get back up and move on with life. You have to smile at your neighbors and live with your family and just be all right. Maybe you have to pretend, but know this: God is always there with you, and He can help you live day by day. Eventually, things will be better, but for now, you can only trust God and fake it. Doesn't sound so very fantastic, but it is the way the world works. Because there are things to do that are more important than you.
