You Are Not Alone, Lean On Me...

Today the lyrics of a song kept humming through my head...
We all have sorrows, we all have pain, but if we are wise we all know there is always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you are not strong, I'll help you carry it on, for it won't be long till I need somebody to lean on, please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow, for no one can fill those of your needs, that you won't let show.
In a world where so many are too busy to notice who around are desperately seeking help, even if not a word is been said, and if pride are constantly getting in the way of true forgiveness, and just the act of leaning in a friends shoulder is a thing of the past makes this beautiful song of hope seem impossible, unattainable, far fetch...
How many marriages are broken over pride, over the inability of simply saying, I am sorry, I was wrong...
How many friendships could be strengthen by the simple words, can I help? May I be of any kind of assistance?
Most of us spend countless of hours trying to figure out our purpose in life, the reason why we were created, something that can give our lives greater meaning than just living for ourselves, meanwhile our neighbors, friends, family, or just that guy or girl we can stand been screaming from inside out for a helping hand, for someone to share their load, their pain, and sorrows, but we been too busy thinking we were too important or too big to realize, and notice the ones right in front of us, I know, how can we hear those in need if they don't cried out for help? Its simple, look people in their eyes when saying hi, stop and actually listen to their answer, smile and notice if they smile back or just nod, there are so many people hurting, alone, hopeless, lost and confuse, and often a simple smile may just change the direction their lives will take that day, so be kind, loving, serve someone, land a hand to a neighbor, stop and just listen to a family member, look deep in the eyes of the ones you love and let them know how you feel, and how sorry you truly are for the mistakes you made, and even if she or he is already gone do it any way, so they get the last laugh, but you will get finally peace in your heart.
They who know Your name who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek, inquire of and for You on the authority of God's Word and the right of their necessity. [Ps 42:1 ] So my brothers and sisters if if you are in need to lean on, shelter in, find hope through, the words above should give you the peace that in God we can always trust, rely on, lean on, and always find the shelter from any kind of storm...
I know that for you all I am nothing more than just words, but I truly want you all to know that I care, no matter how small or big your problems may be, and I don't claim to have the answer for your every problem, or even if I may have the best answer, but this I promise you, I will always do what is in my powers to do, I will pray, cry, laugh with you, and never let you live through your worst alone, it is not in the best moments of your life that I may be a part of, but at the worst I hope to be your best...
