Look Behind.

[David Gray]

There is always a 

reason

why you go through

what you are going through.

No experience

is created to be wasted

if you

share

it 

with somebody else.

When you believe every experience

has a

 purpose,

you will find its purpose ultimately.

From it,

you will have a

 Hope

that strengthens you 

to pull it through.

Through it,

you no longer walk by 

sight.

Circumstances don't matter much anymore.

Hope 

helps you see beyond your naked eye.

It

encourages you to keep walking

and 

you become more confident

you're approaching victory.

Faith 

increases in you.

You are the giant now.

You're bigger 

than your 

problems.

Even when you haven't arrived at 

victory,

it is possible to help somebody else.

How could it be possible?

Look behind you now.

Turn around.

Can you see there are many others

going through your path?

You are ahead of them.

Recently,

I was speaking to a girl

who lives with an abusive mother.

With tears in her eyes

she narrated yet another

violent and painful episode.

When she finally escaped from 

those bitter hands,

the girl fled to her room and got down on her knees.

'Daddy,

I don't know why 

I'm going through this.

But 

if this is going to help 

someone,

please let it be.'

What she's been going through

will open hundreds and thousands of doors

of other hurting people.

It's difficult to empathize with another person's pain

unless you've experienced it yourself.

But when you have,

it is so easy to feel for others.

With her 

compassion 

for them,

she is empowered to

give 

Faith and Hope

to those who can't see it yet.
