Yeah, that pretty much sucks. Has God ever wanted to use you in a way that will leave you feeling broken? Feeling yucky inside or out? Not yucky that I did something wrong, but yucky that this person had to hurt or be confronted or leave a situation or cause a situation to blow up or…
We believe God does ALLOW things to happen and He also CAUSES things to happen, using people. And they are hard on you. And you want to curl up and cry or raise a fist and rage or crawl under a rock and die.
But if GOD is sovereign I have to believe, which I do, that all things have been sifted through His hands and His plans are all over and in it.
And sometimes you get the joy of seeing WHY you were used in that way. There are some “yucky” things going on very near to us, but I can very clearly see how all that we went through in the last three or so years has equipped us to encourage others along as they wade through their own yuck. It really is a gift from God. Because no excuse, no reasons that anyone can give about anything we went through will satisfy. They just won’t. Sure I want some answers, but I know it won’t take away what happened. But how very much different when God shows you some of the whys! He won’t always, and often it may take months, years, decades…but He is in every minute of it!
