We may look at other people and think they never have to go through anything difficult, but we all go through different things. Some people have gone through devastating things that nobody knows anything about. Some people have learned the art of suffering silently. They know only God can help them, so they don't bother telling everyone they meet what they are going through.
It is not wrong to share our troubles with a friend or counselor, but the point is that we cannot assume others are not having challenges in life just because they don't look depressed or don't talk about their problems. We ALL get hurt at times, and we all have the same opportunity either to let it make us bitter or to let it make us better.
A word of encouragement can go a long way in strengthening hearts. Whether that word comes from a friend, a spouse, a stranger, or straight from God's own Word, encouragement has power. It lets us know we're not alone. We have a support group cheering us on as we go through life. God is our biggest fan. He wants you to succeed, and His help is just a prayer away.
Keep smiling (for God),
Dalinda
