"But you don't know what I'm going through."  I must admit...I don't.  In fact, the Bible says, "The Heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy" (Proverbs 14:10, ESV). 

I might not be able to relate to the struggles you are facing, and I might not be able to comprehend the depth of your pain and bitterness, but I can point you in the direction of the One who understands everything that you are experiencing.  Cry out to the LORD, our Heavenly Father, who is able to turn your "mourning into dancing" (Psalm 30:11).  If you don't believe me, just listen to the story of a young lady in Ecuador whose bitterness was replaced with joy!
