Picture
in the world of your mind right now a dark room, a very dark one. Then, when
you get into that room, nothing seems visible. How large is this room? Is there
anyone here? These are the questions and many more that have impossible as
their answers. “Is there anyone here?” that seems like a very difficult
question for you to ask. And then you see something far off, blinking, a very
dim light. There is relief, finally. At least you have an idea how large the
room is. I know that whatever is there, no matter how dim the light is, someone
put there or it’s there for a reason.
That dark room could be somebody’s
life. It just seems like there is no way out, we can’t just figure out what is
happening. You can’t place your hands on who has really been there for you.
It’s just you and your problems and your hurt, your pain, your disappointments.
Yes! They are yours but for how long do you want to remain the person outside
the door of the dark room that is too scared to get into that room? For how
long do you want to keep wondering how long that darkness is going to last? For
how long are you going to keep being afraid of seeing everything negative?
Locate something positive..
Can you still identify love in your
life? Can you recall that it is love that has made you want to wake up every
morning despite all? I mean, it is love that makes you wait at the road signal
for that old woman that gets down from the bus between 6 and 6:15 that cannot
cross the road alone. It is love that makes you forgive your friends the 20th
time they failed you. That’s just a guess of course, it’s more than that. It is
love that gives you hope that someone, someday will show you that kind of love;
that faithful, kind and selfless love, the kind that Jesus loved us with. Don’t
give up on tour life. Please. Don’t give up.
