Today is the end

At the age of 52, my mother had to take care of 2 children (me being one of them). She came from another country, so her English was not good, so she could not get a good job. After 22 years of marriage, my father left her. Needless to say, she was devastated. Her side of the family lived in another country, so she could not turn to them. My mother was a dedicated mother, and my father refused to let her work during the 22 years, but when that was over, she was forced to try and enter the work force. So, not so good English, not working for 22 years, having 2 children to take care of. If my mother can survive, surely you can. I do not mean to belittle your problem for your pain is very real of course. Just remember that the sorrow and misery you feel doesn’t belong to you, so do not make it your own. I by nature am a melancholic person, so I sometimes dwell in sadness, but when ever I think of my mother or other people that have it worse than I do, I gain strength. You do have a life without your husband. He tells you that you are a horrible person. Well, that’s his problem. Do not let him define who you are as a person. You do not need anyone to validate you as a person. It is only God that validates you as a human being. I want you to think of yourself as a human being just like everyone else on the planet. Why would you be considered less than anyone else? You are not. The next time your husband says something ridiculous like that, ask God what He thinks of you. Open your heart to listening to the small, still voice. Oh for sure, the Enemy will try and screw with your mind and tell you that your husband is right, but it’s a complete and total lie, lie, lie. Today is not the end for your life, but it is the end of your feeling of worthlessness. You are a precious human being that God created. Not a single sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing about it. Surely, you are worth more than many, many, many sparrows. Love to you.
