Has God ever taken you on a little journey through a particular hardship and unraveled it all for you?

God broke it all down for me and showed me why He broke my heart all those years ago and how that particular trial changed my life. If I had never gone through all the heartache, betrayal, and disappointments, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

It took hardships to break me.
It took the breaking to heal me.
It took the healing for me to be able to write.
It took the writing for me to be able to help others.

God has a beautiful master plan for us all. He knows what He is doing. While we might not understand why things happen, we must trust God to do what is best for us.

As I remember this particular trial, I recall how I begged God for things to be different. I felt like my life was falling apart—and honestly, it was. My hopes and dreams were shattered so God’s will could take place.

Our visions didn’t align. God knew what my life would look like if He answered my prayer, and He also knew what it would like if He broke my heart, changed my course, and did what was best for me.

He hurt me to save me.

The deepest desires of my heart and the gratification of my flesh were opposite. I desired one thing and accepted another. God knew that I would never be truly happy if He gave me what I thought I wanted. So He chose to love me enough to hurt me, which would really help me.

As the pain overwhelmed me, I was so thankful that God gave me a glimpse of a better day.

When we experience trials, God encourages and gives us hope. However, seeing the possibility of something better for us amid the pain can be challenging. But God doesn’t leave us in painful situations because it’s comfortable for us. He loves us enough to give us the very best.

Friend, if you are in a season of hurting, trust God to help you. Trust that He knows what is best for you and that He will turn your heartaches into blessings.
