"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction , with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
I have experienced the painful heartache and betrayal of infidelity and I have battled cancer, as well as loss of friendship, family members and homes. I know rationally that none of these things was for naught. God had a plan for each of these things. A plan to grow me, mold me, break me. And not just in those moments! He intended for these experiences to continue to grow me. Each time He brings someone into my life who is experiencing these trials I can truly, and honestly, say "I know how you're feeling." Whenever I am privileged enough to walk with someone through these things, I find that my heart heals a little bit more, my scope widens a bit more and my thankfulness for His faithfulness grows a LOT more. Although these things were intended for me, it was ALL for HIS GLORY!! I want to be faithful in sharing my experiences so that I can give back to those who need it, and to honor my God, and doing so through His strength and comfort.
