Romans 8:28

“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.”

We are built to withstand pressure, not to buckle underneath it. Yes, there are times when the thing you fear or dread happens. Times when friends and loved ones betray us. Causing so much pain that you feel you can’t make it. But you must remember there is always purpose behind the pain.

Many suffer horrible childhood traumas that may carry into their adult life. But we serve a God who has an anointing that can break and destroy every yolk. There is nothing you can ever good through that God cannot heal you from. We do not have a complete “why” for the things we go through. Suffice it to say we live in a world where sin has a hold on. But God is so good that we are not left with our hope. We have a way through it. And it is in God.

As you serve God, we must learn to give all these things to God. We must learn to pour out all these feelings to God- be open and expose them to God. Be transparent before God. Yes, he already knows. But in your “telling God about it” you are able to remove the burden of secrecy. Continuing to keep the secrets of your past also keeps you in bondage to it. It also gives power to the person, place, or thing that caused your wound. When we are honest before God we make it possible for Him to salve and heal your wounds, to mend your broken heart.

In the end you are made whole. You have a deeper and stronger relationship with God. Most importantly, you are in a position to be a catalyst for someone else’s healing and deliverance. You are free now to share your testimony to the glory of God. Making what satan designed to destroy you, be the very thing that God uses to propel you to the place where he can use you.

Romans 8:28, does not say that everything that you face, have gone through or will go through are good. It simply says that they will work together FOR your good. You just have to have a survivors attitude, not a victims attitude. What is the difference? The survivor does not focus attention on what happened, they realize that the made it through. Yes, there are scars and wounds, but they made it. While the victim chooses to relive the trauma and cover they wounds and scars, hiding them from the opinions of people. Either way, God is able to heal, deliver, and set free. However, your attitude reflects where you are. You must be willing to be set free.

Realize that there is a purpose behind your pain. In the end God will get the glory out of your life.
