God will use all your troubles in His plan for your life if you let Him.
How did God use your pain or sadness?
1) Did He fill you with empathy for others?
2) Did He draw you closer to Him?
3) Did He teach you to obey Him?
4) Did you learn to trust God and let Him help you?
5) Did someone else ask you about your strong faith during trials?
6) Did it cause you to bond with someone more closely?
I believe the answers are yes to all the questions mentioned above. God will use our heartache, whatever its cause to build our character, draw us closer to Him and make us pliable tools for His purposes. He will call on each of us from time to time to go through something, so we can better minister to others.
Scripture to ponder:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28)
Dear Lord, I know that in all things you work for the good of those who love you, those who have been called according to your purpose. Today I thank you for how you planned, in advance, to turn all my crisis and problems into good and that you have made that promise to all Christians. It gives me enormous hope. Help me always remember that you are my compassionate and caring Father. I give all my hurt and troubles to you to put to good use. Amen.
