The light amidst the darkness (Reflection essay by Patricia Ann Dasa 12 HUMSS JOY)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Have you ever felt empty? like you're alive but you feel dead? because I feel that way. due to personal reasons i'm too afraid to share, iv'e become someone I don't know. I no longer enjoy the things I used to enjoy.

Iv'e walked through a dark tunnel alone. I had no one to run to and felt like the whole world turned their back on me. going through dark times alone makes you think of horrible things to do to your self. I started hating life to the fullest and even questioned if God really cared about me.

I don't understand why i had to go through all of those. i struggled to even have the motivation to wake up each day continue living. But that was when I doubted God's love and plans for me. When you feel like you haven no one, not even your self, God will always be there for you. We should trust him in everything that we do and keep in mind that all the suffering and problems we are facing are just part of our journey called life. just like what they said, what kills you make you stronger.

When it feels like you've fallen into the darkness and there seem to be no way out, always remember that God is our light. He will direct us to the right path. If everything seems like it's falling apart, trust God with all your heart. Everything he does in our life has a reason.
