Having your arms wrapped around something that just isn’t there…

When you survive each days’ struggles based simply on a belief, a flicker of hope, 
knowing that Angels look over you, knowing that you are loved, knowing that 
somehow, some day, your struggles will be justified, and that life as you currently 
know it will get better… you believe you serve a purpose… yet there will be times, 
even for days on end, when it seems there is literally no evidence that these things 
actually exist.
Doubt creeps in causing you to be discouraged… insecure… tears emerge, heart 
aches, and you are left with no clarity, no clear direction… no clear purpose.

THIS is the definition of having your arms wrapped around something that just isn’t 
there… it hurts, and it can lead to losing that belief, losing faith, losing you.

Consider this:
There is NEVER a clear beginning, middle, or end to life, love, or happiness… so if we 
have no clarity, if we can’t physically SEE that we are loved; if we don’t feel hope, 
we don’t feel that butterfly on our shoulder signaling the Angels above… does this 
mean they don’t exist??

Never, EVER doubt… there will be days that are foggy… there will be days when you 
can’t see the sun shine through the blanket of clouds… but even though you can’t 
see it, that sun shines unconditionally, beautifully, and brilliantly… and so do you.
If and when you feel completely alone, you must believe that you are not.
When there is nobody there to comfort, encourage and inspire you, you must 
believe they exist.
When you’ve lost your direction, and you can’t find (or see) your purpose, you must 
believe you will be guided.

Circumstances are only temporary … they can be misleading… just because you are 
by yourself, does not mean you are alone.
Just as being attractive has nothing to do with being a beautiful person… you must 
learn to rest comfortably in the hands and arms of others, even when their physical 
presence does not exist, and especially when your loved ones’ physical presence 
will never exist again… you are never alone.
