Things that are hard...
I don't expect life to be easy, in fact I have learned that it is not. Any illusions I may have had that life would be a walk in the park, where dashed quite some time ago. I am not complaining about this fact, as I realize that this is life, and it gets much better after this. Really, life should not discourage me, because it is only the prelude to a beautiful masterpiece. However, there are some things that are hard in life, and are always going to be hard, no matter how much you focus forward and upward.
Today, I am sad because I cannot help people in the way that I would like. I would like every person that comes in contact with me for longer then a brief second, to feel that they have someone to talk to or a friend if they need it. And yet, there are some people I so desperately wish I could help, and I can't, because I would only complicate things more for them.
I wish I could change that, if I could take on everyone's pain so they don't feel it...I would do it in an instant. However, I am left to pray that you feel God's love in your life, despite all the junk. It is my prayer that you never get bitter...no matter what happens to you. For bitterness sucks the very joy out of life, and makes it pointless.

...but you don't need to take on every body's pain... Jesus did that and He is far more qualified to carry that immense burden and invite others to be "burden free" in His forgiving love and grace.
Have a great day.
did you know you have a huge gift of compassion? i think sometimes you're afraid to admit it though. but it's huge. and powerful. and God's gonna use it.
I think, as much as this may seem insensitive, or a pat answer...you will find joy if you are avoiding bitterness. It may not happen over night, it may be a long process, but if you aren't bitter, joy will come!
I think you're wrong... but I'm in no place to decide.
If it were just about this life...I might agree with you...but there is more then just here and now, and there will be joy in heaven for sure, if you do not find it here.
