God does some of His best work through our hurts and our bruises. It is the kind of redemptive work that only God can do.
What are you going through right now? I guarantee you are either going through something, just went through something, or there is something in your near future that will test your resilience, your character, and your faith. I don’t say that to discourage you—just the opposite! I say it to encourage you, because the truth is this: God uses life’s bruises.
