No one but God

"Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy." - Proverbs 14:10

Proverbs gives down to earth wisdom about living and interacting with God and others.

No one else can truly share your joys or your sorrows, so quit trying to get them to. Distress happens when we try to receive from people what only God can provide. He, alone, can share and comfort.

As the chorus from the hymn, "In the Garden", says

And he walks with me
And he talks with me,
And he tells me I am his own.
And the joy we share
as we tarry there,
none other, has ever, known

Get some alone time with God and let him share your joys and sorrows as no one else can.
