Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the events of late 2024
and early 2025 (I can’t believe it’s already June!). 2024 brought many
challenges for my husband and me. We encountered several trials, had conflicts
with family members, faced trauma, and endured significant struggles. It was a
season that tested our faith during trials. Then, at the start of 2025, we
suffered betrayal from someone with whom we had developed a close connection.
It was one of those moments that makes you question everything—and yet, it’s
also where healing from betrayal begins.
My husband managed to forgive and move on much sooner
than I did. I wanted to forgive, but I couldn’t get past what had happened. It
felt like I was losing my mind, and I sensed that my feelings weren't being
acknowledged properly. This built up my anger. I found myself repeatedly
asking, “What in the world was that?” I even posed that same question to God. I
didn’t realize it then, but this was part of my Christian forgiveness journey,
where true surrender and transformation start.
A few months back, my pastor mentioned that the Lord was
awakening me and preparing to reveal the purpose behind my experiences.
Recently, I’ve found myself in a place where I’m tired of the trivialities and
just want Jesus. While church and music are wonderful, my immediate need is for
Jesus. I long for a personal relationship with Jesus, not just religion, but a
deep connection that brings true spiritual growth.
This morning, I was praying in the car, and this
overwhelming feeling of gratitude came over me. I began to tell God that I was
thankful for all the trials because I know they strengthened me and equipped me
for this next chapter of my life. I understand now that it was all for my good.
This is part of my Christian testimony, and it has helped me find purpose in
pain.
Romans 8:28 says, “We know that all things work together
for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.”
Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
When you truly understand and accept that everything in
your life is working for your good, peace begins to rise, and it may not make
sense to others, or even you. No matter what the situation looks like, you can
rest in this truth: somehow, even this is working for your good. The goal is
not to figure out how it’s working, but to trust that it is. Your God will
never allow anything to come into your life to destroy you or overtake you. He
is working it all together for your good. If you’ve been trusting God’s plan
through uncertainty, take comfort in this unchanging truth.
Rest assured that whatever you are facing is for your
good. God sees it, knows it, and is working it out in your favor. No need to
worry. He’s got your back, and you win in the end! Let His peace in the storm
carry you. Trust that His hand is over every detail.
Final Encouragement
Take a deep breath, release the weight of unanswered questions, and lean into
the truth that God is both sovereign and intentional. What felt like breaking
was actually building. What seemed like a detour was divine direction. From
trust comes peace, and from peace comes the strength to keep walking—knowing
your story is still unfolding, and God is writing every word with love. Your
life is full of divine purpose, and in trusting God’s timing, you’ll find the
rest your soul has been craving.
Always remember that I love you, and I want you FREE IN
CHRIST.
Peace and blessings.
