Romans 8:28
28 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.
God has a purpose for all of us. Not only does he have a purpose for us but, the good and the bad things we go through in life have a purpose too. It tears us down to the ground and weather you choose to get up and rebuild yourself, or stay down is up to you. He doesn't get tired of waiting on us though. He knows unlike us what the end result will be if we choose to allow him to rebuild. Sometimes like me, we are stubborn and he may force us to stay still, break down and then rebuild us the way he knows we are meant to be. During the process, we often question why?
Sometimes, we loose our faith completely when we see no way out. It is in the darkness, however, we find out who we are. In order for this to happen though, we must continue to walk the dark path and believe he is still there walking along with us. I am a living testament to this. During my fourteen years of torment, I prayed and cried for God to take me home. If I would have been able to do it myself, I would not be here today. Now that I am on the other side of that darkness, he has given me an answer to most of my questions. Now, I can use the dark times I walked through and use it as a light of hope to those who now are walking that dark path. I wonder if everyone would do that instead of running or hiding, how much brighter this world would be.
