Smiles can hide pain. Case in point: Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014) was an American actor and stand-up comedian. He first became famous on the television show Mork and Mindy. He starred in many movies. However, the smiles were used to mask his pain.
Sadly, he took his life.
Life’s a brute and sometimes the ugliness of it can no longer be masked. Does the Bible address it? Glad you asked.
“Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble.
“I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Yea, life’s not always pleasant, but before it gets to be too much, spend time in the Word and share your state of mind with someone close, whom you can trust. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Give it some consideration.
