No Condemnation - EP17

We all know there is much sorrow in this world. In this day and age, life can seem impossible to navigate. I’m sure you have seen it and experienced it for yourself.
There are so many of us that live with debilitating feelings of condemnation and defeat. That feeling seems to be unshakable, that we somehow must face our lives without ever being loved because we feel that we are not loveable.
Somehow it seems that most everyone around us is strong and confident and has the world at their feet. But is it really as it seems? The truth is probably a little more like, they have just become really good at hiding what is actually going on inside. Are they just hiding these feelings of hopelessness?
Do they also feel feelings of inadequacy but have become really good at acting the role of a confident, self-reliant, expert in living life. The truth is more likely that they are good at fooling those around them and deceiving themselves in the process.
Unfortunately for many, there seems to be no escaping that bout with hopelessness, to the point that they feel life is no longer worth living. And in an act of desperation, they will sadly take their own life. For them, living life without hope is pointless.
And I would agree. If, it was true, that there is no hope, what would be the point to living out a hopeless, meaningless life.
But, is it really what we think? Is life really without hope, without purpose?
