Sometimes, the times we think are the darkest in our lives could actually be the brightest if we saw them through the Holy Spirit’s eyes. If we saw them as part of our fate decided by God before the world was made.
This morning, I was thinking that when I look back at the times I thought were darkest, I see that those were the times God was carefully guiding me to avoid mistakes. He was making sure my path leads to my true life’s purpose.
That Christian guy who broke my heart wasn’t part of God’s plan for me after all. It seemed dark at the time, but when I look ahead to my wonderful future without him, I feel happy and grateful because I see that it wouldn’t have been as good if he was still in my life.
There’s a verse in the Bible that says, “My thoughts aren’t your thoughts, and my ways aren’t your ways, says the Lord.”
I thought about this while I was driving and listening to the song ‘No longer slaves’ by Bethel. The song says: “You split the sea so I could walk right through it. All my fears are drowned in perfect love. You rescued me so I could stand and sing I’m a child of God.”
This makes me think that when I face problems today, I should pray differently. I should ask God to help me see things the way He does. I know once I start thinking and acting more like God, I’ll be able to find happiness even when I’m facing difficulties.
