STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS
Romans 8.28 says: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
I used to ask myself why I had to go through all that. "Why me?" was a question I was always asking God. Then I realized that if I hadn't gone through all that I would not have a story to tell. I wouldn't be able to talk about so many things because I would not have experienced them. I also came to realize that all those things were orchestrated by the devil to keep me away from the destiny God had planned for me.
Today what was a weakness is becoming a strength. Where the devil thought he had won, God is making my light shine even brighter for his glory. The one thing I want you to keep in your heart this week is this: I am not defined by my trauma. All the things that have tried to steal my light have not in any way diminished the love God has for me. On the contrary, because I have come to seek His help they will contribute to His glory being restored in my life. If He has done it for others, He can and will do it for me.
