“Sometimes life just sucks.” The phrase we here from our parents, friends, professors, ourselves and many others when something just goes wrong.
You didn’t get the award. “Sometimes life just sucks.”
Classes didn’t get cancelled while it was blizzarding. “Well life just sucks sometimes.”
You just flat out do not get what you want or what you were hoping for. “Man, life sucks right now.”
And after we say, “life just sucks sometimes,” we follow it by saying, “we just have to move on.” While that has some truth to it, that we need to move on, the reason we move on shouldn’t be caused by a problem that leads us to saying, “Sometimes life sucks.”
I am a huge culprit of this. It is so easy to blame an unfortunate circumstance on the saying “life sucks.” It helps us validate that it wasn’t our fault; it makes the circumstance feel better after blaming it on something else. I get it.
Life doesn’t suck.
Sure, sometimes unfortunate things happen. You may think that life got your hopes up or life didn’t go as you thought it would. Stop saying that life sucks because it doesn’t. We get to live on this earth with friends and family, and opportunities right in front of us.
We are living every day loved by the Lord.
Are you saying that this life, for the split second something goes wrong, that God handed to you at no cost, sucks?
Life doesn’t suck.
God loves you more in a moment than anyone could in a lifetime. And you want to demean that for a hot minute while you soak in a small disappointment? Overcome that disappointment, move on and go enjoy life. One small moment does not define a life filled with everlasting love. Why would the Lord make our life suck anyway?
Life is a beautiful gift flourishing with prosperous growth, fulfilling joy and uncontainable love.
Life has a tendency to throw us for a loop, or a couple of them for that matter. These obstacles and situations that cause us to think that “life just sucks sometimes” turn us away from the Lord. The minute we turn away from God is the minute our legacy begins to unravel.
We don’t know what causes these bad things to happen. But even when we do not understand, we need to praise Him for giving this prospering life. So many things will happen this year; good things and bad.
But you need to continue to take the brave and faithful steps. Life doesn’t suck. Life is an awe-inspiring, spine-tingling, heart-stirring journey that we get to wake up to every single day. And who do we have to thank for this? I’ll give you one guess… the Lord Almighty!
Sometimes the situation might suck but life doesn’t suck.
You didn’t get the award. “Sometimes life just sucks.” “At least I got the opportunity to compete for this award..”
Classes didn’t get cancelled while it was blizzarding. “Well life just sucks sometimes.” “Well, at least I can take a cute snow picture.”
You just flat out do not get what you want or what you were hoping for. “Man, life sucks right now.” “Man, I am a little disappointed but I get to live the rest of the day loved by Him.”
