PSALM 119:67 (MSG)
Before I learned to answer you, I wandered all over the place,
but now I’m in step with your Word.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 (MSG)
Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If the pain gets us back on the right path it's all worth it.
PRAYER
God, I am amazed at the way that you have carried me through the pain and disappointment that I've experienced. Forgive me for thinking that it has been a waste. Draw me close to yourself and show me how you are using the grief to bring maturity into my life. I'm going to allow the negative things to impact me positively. Amen.
