I met a young girl today that really touched my heart. She had extreme TRUST issues. So much so that she may never be able to live the type of life that you and I would consider “normal”. You see, her “normal” for so long was not being able to depend on anyone in her life. Ever! She won’t allow herself to get close to anyone because she’s been hurt so many times before. It’s easier for her to go through life without close relationships because by doing so she is insuring herself she won’t be hurt again.
I held another young lady in my arms tonight as she cried for a relative that died in the hospital today. She told me that he had lived his life on the wild side... his death inadvertently may have been taken as a result of that life lived - another bad choice he made. Her heart was broken and she didn't understand it all.
When I was deep within my own walls of depression, I felt the same way these kids do now. To be totally honest, even though I am a firm believer in God's Love, there are times now, when things happen in my life, I still feel lost and alone. I think we all feel vulnerable at times. But with therapy and medication, I have learned that I don't have to feel that way 24/7.
I pray God comforts these young women. What they both are going through can be devastating. I hope they find peace and strength. I feel I am blessed because I have found strength through Jesus Christ and I know that He is there... especially when all strength is gone.
