CAN YOU SEE MY PAIN?

So, I guess you must have noticed the picture below and I am guessing you either laughed in wonder, amazement or disbelief.
  "How na?", "It's not possible", "In this 21st Century", "When it's not World's Garbage day", "It's too exaggerated", "Is that even someone's house?", "These people and Social media".... You have so many comments.

Well, I am sorry to burst your bubble but that's definitely someone's house, someone's kitchen and if you note what was written on the picture, it says, 'After a meeting'(we are not told what kind of meeting), so, it's really not World's Garbage Day.

We don't see God but that does not mean He doesn't exist, so the same, just because you have never seen that picture in reality does not mean it doesn't exist.
  It may not the man's girlfriend that might be called to clear the place, What of House helps? Don't they go through things worse than these, Are they not humans?

I was in a bus one time and this drug seller stood up and said "Oga, U get pikin wey e yash(i.e bom bom) don enter inside like slippers, E head dey like football and E belle big like pot, U carry am go school, E dey vomit worms, buy this de-worming medicine. Worms no be your pikin.....and he continued.

Note: I have never seen a child vomiting worms but that does not mean it doesn't exist. The man must have seen, and that is why he was so bold in marketing his products.
  Just because you have never seen or experienced a certain situation does not mean someone else, out there is not experiencing it.

The pains and struggle, some people go through are both unimaginable and unspeakable. Some people wake up to agony, walk through distress and sleep in confusion.
  These days, some turn to the social media to express their pains through pictures, some through, group forums but then, we are quick to judge and conclude that all is fake. This makes the victims hurt the more.

Today, I implore you to please, "Ask the Lord to send help and comfort to people hurting", you might even be passing through yours, God is not sleeping, My Dear.... He can see and He truly understands what you are going through.

Simply take a minute to thank the Lord for his goodness(can't think of anything, think about the fact that you are alive) and then ask for help and comfort for those hurting, for when you stand in the gap i.e Pray for someone else(a.k.a intercede), God takes care of your own issues...1 Tim. 2 vs 1,NLT (paraphrased)

Have Great Faith and Courage, Hold on to God, Help is on the way. Shalom!
