Everyone goes through trials and distresses; but, do we all make it out alive? There is some truth to the cliché that says, “Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining;” but does it mean that everything horrible we go through is okay because we
have hope that things will get better? Some say yes and some laugh at the idea while they down their eighth bottle of Gin and prepare for ten more.
People are different in so many ways. They attack at despair and misery in a number of attempts to capture a solace existence. The most popular search engine in our world today is putting the bottle to their heads and yanking away at the trigger. This attempt permits them to forget and escape from the hurt they feel, in place
of facing it head on.
People also try to fill the void in their lives by seeking material fulfillment found in the luxuries of women, clothes, cars, or just plain money. Those that seek will drown themselves into their office work to try to subside the nagging that gnaws at the gaping hole that once held their heart. They seek and most all of the time their search for a void filler leaves them broken, with an even larger hole, spent, or dead. The hurt that we endure can teach us things if we but listen. Sometimes things don’t end well and they leave us in bewilderment.
You see, (recognize that this is based on my perspective) not every cloud has a silver lining. My, you must think me pessimistic, that there is only gloom and doom on the horizon; no, there
is a light, a silver lining if you say. This is the one true and living light that can be found at the end of the tragedies; that sums up the silver lining. The true light can provide the only hope one each on earth is so desperately yearning and thirsting for.
Those who thirst will find a quenching that lasts. They have come out of the rubble with scars and wounds, but are standing tall. They could not have done it without the silver lining which
light that has come into this dark world. They find rest in the light and have no deep fear of the ever darkening gale.
I for one am not a person who just believes that the world is without hope of finding the true fulfillment out of life. I know where this fulfillment can only be found. It is of God that the light comes forth and gives us the strength to go into work the next day after a loved one had just passed on. The light He provides is warmth for the bitter cold heart and love for them that are without it. The silver lining that we now can have the ability to posses was not without a
high cost. The price was a sharp blow and God willingly, out of His great love, received in our place.
