- Extreme pain and fear are opportunities. Just like during the Holocaust (or during another time of extreme persecution you relate to) the one thing people had was an opportunity to have faith during the harshest conditions imaginable. This was a gift, one not everyone gets. Imagine how good it felt for those who were able to achieve a level of faith during their suffering after death. The lights turned on and God and his reasons became clear to them. The fact that they had faith when faith was impossible probably gave them immense joy. We can earn a measure of that joy too, through trust we have in the universe.
- Even though it might feel like you’ve been holding on by a thread for the last I don’t know how many years, as if you’ve been dragged in and out of hell again and again, you’re still alive. This is a mind blowing fact, because after everything you’ve been through you might assume you’d be dead by now. The fact that you’ve managed to survive (in whatever shape or form) must mean God wants you here. And though part of you might think life is just some even crueler version of hell, there’s a bigger part of you that sees the reason God wants you here is because He loves you, wants you to grow and have a good life at the end of the day (or at least that’s the less painful belief of the two!). Because what would be the point of creating this whole world just for people to suffer? If that would be the point, God hasn’t done a complete job. So much detail and thought went into creating this world, it must be for a positive reason at the end of the day.
- Just like in these videos, where when we zoom out and see that planet earth is really so small compared to the solar system and the solar system is so small compared to the sun and so on and so forth, (does it ever end really?) so too, that is life. However impossible things feel, there’s always a layer above that. The key is to step out of the current perspective and dare to imagine a slightly bigger, more expansive reality.
