A Pass

I was talking to a friend today about an unthinkable tragedy that they suffered in the past. We were talking about how sometimes you are sad, for a really long time. And sometimes, unfortunately, that is not always okay with everyone. They want you to be happy, move on. Then this friend said that sometimes they get scared of the unthinkable happening again. And they struggle with God. Feeling like since they suffered the unthinkable, they should never again have to endure any other tragedy. They want a pass.

I can relate to that. Today I want a pass. For myself, and for others who have suffered enough.

I know our suffering can not compare to the suffering of our Savior.

And I know He knows and sees our suffering. I know His comfort and peace is readily available for the taking. I know His Holy Spirit is here numbing some of the pain.

But today.....

I want a pass.
