God’s Purpose In Your Pain
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. – Romans 8:28
I don't care how much you love God; I don't care how long you have been walking with Jesus. I have no doubt that you have had tragedies and traumas in your life. Some of them have been physical, some of them have been emotional, some have been financial, and some have shaped your life more than you could know.
With this in mind, I want to challenge you: don't be afraid of the tragedies and traumas that you go through. They are part of God taking you on a journey. If you read the story of Joseph, you never find him focusing on the traumatic events in his life, but they were part of his story, and he looked for God to use even his toughest moments for his own good.
Joseph’s journey was marked by betrayal, imprisonment, and pain, but he trusted God’s hand in every step. He didn’t let his circumstances define him; instead, he let God’s presence sustain him. The same is true for you. Your tragedies and traumas may feel overwhelming, but they are not the end of your story. God can use the very things meant to break you to shape you into someone stronger, wiser, and more dependent on Him.
Lean into God’s promises. He is working even in your toughest moments to bring about something beautiful for His glory and your good.

I feel that God used my breast cancer to help others that are going through this journey. I have now had to have my implants removed because of causing more problems and a recall on them but God has been merciful to me and has not caused any complications.
Praises for your helpful vision. Prayers for added strength and courage as you rest in our Father's love. Thanks for your encouragement to others.
I will keep leaning into God to see me through the difficult times
