sorrows

Life is hard.

I was reading Psalm 13 today and came to a verse that stated, ‘having sorrow in my heart day after day.’

I think this verse is true of everyone.

We carry sorrows.  We carry lost loved ones.  We carry lost dreams.  We carry lost hopes for the future.

It’s as true today as it was 3,000 years ago.

Sorrows never go away.

They compound over and over and over again.

Until we are either crushed by the weight of them.

Or…

We acknowledge they’re there and that we no longer have the capacity to hold them on our own.
