Everybody Has Problems

 Stop minimizing the problems of others!  Many people, erroneously, believe that as long as a person has electricity, food and shelter that he/she has no problems.  More times than not, that is NOT the case.  As a matter of fact, it is often a trick of the enemy to isolate people.  What do you mean?  I’m glad you asked.  The enemy likes to isolate people and to make them feel that they are all alone.  When a person looks as if he/she is okay, others think that the person has it altogether.  As a result, no one would even consider that the person who looks “altogether” is really a mess.  Sometimes, many aspects of that person’s life is in complete shambles.  And, because others believe that the person has it “altogether”, they never check on that person (leaving the person to be isolated).  And, if someone does happen to check on that person, they minimize their problems because the problem is not what they think a problem really is.  You know what I’m talking about - we’ve all minimized someone else’s problems at one point or another.  We often reason that if the person IS NOT sick, IS NOT broke, IS NOT homeless, IS NOT hungry - then they really don’t have any problems.  Just because their problem is miniscule to you, it is still a mountain to them.  So, the next time you make a judgment about someone’s problems (even if you have no point of reference), you can always go to God in prayer.
