The Strength Within Us

The strongest people who surround us are the individuals that laugh during unspoken suffering, weep on the other side of shut doors, and fight the bad fights nobody notices. Strong people typically have their life figured out, even when they are at their breaking points. They stand tall with tears in their eyes and pain in their hearts, but still seem capable of saying they’re fine with their heads held high. We were all given this life because God knows we are strong enough to face and live it. We wouldn’t be given situations too tough for us to grasp. However, being strong doesn’t always mean you have to hold your head high and say you’re fine. Sometimes being strong is being able to trust those who have blessed your life and let them guide and direct you. It can be scary telling people your burdens, but if they care about you they will not judge or worry you. Rather they will come to you filled with love and compassion. That to me probably takes more strength than putting on an “I’m fine” face.
