If God can transfigure the greatest evil into the greatest gift, then He intends to turn whatever you are experiencing right now into a gift.
Ann Voskamp
We have come to the end of yet another unprecedented year filled with many obstacles.
I don’t know about you, but for me it’s been a long year. As we live this last week of this year we are all in some ways feeling the heaviness of the year behind us but also desperately longing to grab onto hope and goodness for this new year ahead. Some might even feel a relief as this year comes to an end.
But… thankfully I have hope to hold onto, an incredible hope and I want to share it with you!
Romans 8:28 tells us this: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
What a hope.
What was intended to tear you apart, God intends to set you apart.
My dear friend, what has torn you, God’s grace can heal that and reveal His goodness.
No matter what bad came into your world to try to harm you, God’s arms are there to catch and hold you.
No matter what bad in fact did hurt you, God is right there, in that dark place to whisper to you…”I am here for you.”
Let Him be your Hero, let Him come to your rescue. Let Him hold you and mold you so He can turn that brokenness into something beautiful, transforming your greatest sorrow into the most beautiful gift. Only He can. And remember, if you choose to try to fight it on your own, you will withhold yourself from the gift of redemption, the gift of beauty, the gift of goodness.
God always works good out of bad, even when our eyes can’t see. God always turns hard things into good gifts, even if our ears can’t hear.
Trust Him as we enter 2022. It’s time to believe that what we see is nothing in comparison to the incredible good He is able to reveal to us, even in our brokenness.
