I’ve been grappling with this question for some time now: “What if nothing about you nor anything you ever did were a mistake?” What if everything were exactly as it was supposed to be?
Everything we’ve been through has set us up for where we are now; and, I don’t know about you, but I’m thrilled with where I am now spiritually!
It’s not a matter of God giving us pain and suffering to prompt us on; but we can look back and observe that our greatest leaps forward – in discovering who we are in God – seem to have come out of our finally seeking His help while abandoning our own.
