Same Book, different chapter and words.....

In "my world" I have a story to tell, but you also have a story in your world. Why is it, that we look for the "tears" in someone's life?  Meaning this, we just seem to gravitate to listening to someone's story...... their tragedy, their heartbreak, their sadness........

We sit back, read about someone on "FB" or their blog and we grab a box of kleenexes and say, "oh, that just touched me, they are so strong."  More often than not, we end up putting that person on a pedestal and keep glued to "learn" of anything new happening in their life.  While yes, there are moving stories out there, there should only be one story to really share........ "To God be the glory, great things He has done."  But you say, "we are giving God the glory when we read and weep about it, really??????? Sorry, but I think we like to dwell on it.  Facebook and Blogging gives us to much info at times.  It also doesn't help people heal when they are constantly "sharing" and weeping on one another's shoulders.  "How Cruel! if you hurt like them you wouldn't say such things."  WRONG!!!! I have hurt and I do hurt at times, but that doesn't give me the right to feed my hurt.  Our focus should be on the glory we have, NOT on the sadness we had.  Col. 1:27, "........ Christ in you, the hope of glory."

So, for some, this may seem cruel. To you I say, "We all have a story....... I just choose to let CHRIST get the glory for the story."


"Don't cry for me but rejoice with me in what HE has done through me."
