I recently
came across a Tumblr blog post reading, “re-blog if you’ve ever experienced...have
been abused, self- harmed, been bullied, made yourself throw up...” These options
were just a sampling.
Unfortunately,
pain in life is inevitable.
And, as much
as each one of us may believe we’re “the only one,” in truth, we are not.
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet
riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and
chance happeneth to them all. “
Ecclesiastes 9:11
God does not cause pain; our fallen world does
that. However, God has firmly decided, even in spite of our circumstances, what
He wants us to experience...
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Wherever we are in life, let’s try to re-blog THAT!
