“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
(Genesis 50:20 ESV)
“And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
(Romans 8:28 ESV)
There’s a song called, “My Story, Your Glory” by Matthew West. I can relate to it:
“The story of me was a story of shame.
My Story, Your Glory, by Matthew West
Wrong turns written on every page.
So many parts that were so messed up.
But I love the part where You showed up.
Rewriting my past, rewriting my hurt.
Line by line, word by word.
And now my story is livin’ proof,
There’s not a chapter that you can’t use.”
God can use us no matter how messed up or broken we are. I am living proof God uses broken and hurting people.
A few years ago, ok a lot of years ago. I was considering suicide. God stepped in and used a friend to talk me out of it. He didn’t even know I was thinking about killing myself. God took this broken and hurting person and turned my life around. If He did it for me, He will do it for you.
So, if you are hurting, broken, depressed or even considering suicide, God has a plan for you. God will take your mess and turn it into a wonderful message. He can take your pain and give you a purpose. Give God a chance to help you. He will take whatever mess you may have and turn it into a testimony. You may think you are too broken for God to fix, but if you let the master potter work, He will put the broken pieces back together.
Have a great day, everyone.
