Too often in life, we as humans must confront emotions that we see as unfair. Emotions that make us feel like we're hard to love and in situations like this I like to remind myself that no matter how unloved I can feel at any given moment I am loved more greatly by the maker of the universe than I will ever be able to know. Throughout the Bible we are often reminded that no matter how rough our path is we never have to walk it alone, and that we can find light in a dark world if we choose to believe in the love that can overcome everything else.
