resist

I don't understand why it is so easy to give up.
it's so easy to give up.

emotions are unreliable.
one moment you will something to last forever.
the next you can't wait for it to end.
you take steps to make it end.
or you just give up.

people are unreliable.
even when your emotions manage to become consistent.
if someone hurts you.
bam.
i give up.

words are unreliable.
mostly because they have everything to do with people and emotions.
because any word can basically have a hundred different meanings.
and how are you to know which one it is?

so what is reliable?

if I can't trust
emotions
people
words
and everything else that is messed up in the world.
what can I rely on?
what can we rely on?

or. who can we rely on?

"These things I have spoken to you,
so that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you have tribulation,
but take courage; I have overcome the world."
- john 16:33
