Everyone has something. The something that holds you back. The thing that pops into your head when someone asks you something along the lines of "What's something you've never told anyone before?"
But, no matter what, everyone has one.
We all go through pain. Long term, short term, physical, emotional, whatever it is we all go through something.
We might think "Why me?" "How come no one else has to go through this?" or something like that. We might get mad. Yell, scream, blame God. I have to admit, it's pretty easy doing that, blaming God. But eventually you get over it.
There was a boy in my school who didn't, though. He never got over his something. His name was Josh. Josh was a junior at American Fork High School, a loved kid, and he killed himself.
Now doesn't that just suck? Sucks for him, his family, the school, me, you, everyone was effected by that. I was looking through his yearbook that everyone could sign at the end of the year for his parents, and I saw many confessions of suicide attempts and depressed thoughts.
Through one death, multiple others were saved.
So attach meaning to your pain. Through Josh's pain, he saved so many other people from feeling the same pain.
