A Letter for the Teary eyed - By Joy Oforka

LIB reader Joy Oforka writes again. Read below...
Dear Hurting Heart,
I write to your heart - bruised, scarred or broken - knowing that it is its heavy weight that has so heavily clouded your eyes. I know I have no perfect knowledge of how you feel; your pain is peculiar to you. I only hope that I find the right words to soothe you where my hugs can't. I'm sorry life happened to you the way it did. I'm sorry you are going through so much pain. I'm sorry I really can't do more than say how sorry I am.
I'm sorry if my sorry causes you to cry even more. I'm sorry I'm still talking though you wouldn't mind if I shut up.

Be the brave one and do what I'm trying so hard not to: cry. Cry not because it is therapeutic or soul-cleansing. Cry because it is what you really want to do. Crying would only be a feminine thing were pain feminine too. Somehow, you'd find that doing what you really want to has a way of making you feel better. So go on Love, and cry as you will.

When your tears have had their freedom, I beg you to share a seat with me while I speak of a constraint. How long, Love, do you intend to cry? You could lie again to cry even more or you could walk with me let's find new reasons to laugh. I can't promise that you will never cry again. But I can tell you that the sun shines with all its might even when it knows it still will rain. If life must go on, then so must you. God made today fully aware that there would be tomorrow.
I know these are easy words for such hard pain. I only hope this really helped.

With Love,
Me.

Go back to your husband and stop deceiving yourself here. Our society views divorcees with derision irrespective of what your so-called feminists tell you. And again, God hates divorce. He said it Himself.

*@ Blunt, who made you a judge over her divorce? You lack knowledge of her reasons? Do you know whether the divorce from her husband? Preacher who lacks knowlege of what the bible says about divorce. Pick up your bible and see the conditions for divorce. And who is taking about femininsm here? What makes you think the writer is even a lady? Please shut up if you got nothing to say. Bad belle

Swallow your pain, wipe your tears. God lives in your yesterday, present and tomorrow. He knows how to give you double joy for every single pain. He is always besides you to comfort you.

"But I can tell you that the sun shines with all its might even when it knows it still will rain"...My fav. Line. We should never stop fighting for wat we want no matter how hurt we feel or how broken we are. One bad egg doesn't necessarily mean that all eggs r bad. There is always light at the end of the Tunnel. This is an Awesome letter Joy gal & as always u have blessed hearts with your write up. May God bless you too. #Muchos Amor
