We have all known the sting of someone who intentionally hurt us. The good news is that we have a master architect in our lives. Nothing passes through our lives that he doesn’t allow. I’ll be the first to admit that I take issue sometimes with how much he trusts me. I try to live an integral existence, treating others the way I want to be treated. Then along comes a fear fueled person trying to dim my light. It took many years for me to realize that their behavior has little to do with me. Even still I find myself frustrated and angry before I pause to remember that no amount of damage can derail God’s purpose on my life. Reflection is a powerful tool. Once I get out of my limbic brain and allow myself to think about all the trouble he has delivered me from, I begin to acknowledge every wound that is now wisdom, every mess that became a message
Nothing is wasted. He has shown me this multiple times.
