God and Life

I received an email from my Aunt Holly the other day with a message in it that got me thinking.
"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
After I read that I got to thinking(which hurt a little, got a headache from it) and I realized that even if you aren't the most religious person or the most God trusting person, you can still believe in words. Reading it made me realize that people pity themselves too much and dwell in the past too much. Some people need to know that God has a plan for everybody and no matter how bad life hurts and sucks at times, it does and will get better. Now, I am not going to make this a religious banter blog so I am just going to leave it at that!
