God can take anything that happens to us, even the bad things, and use them to make us into a better person, if we let Him. God’s desire for us is to be Christ-like. Sometimes God allows things to happen.
Often, bad things happen to us because we make bad decisions. We sometimes make decisions that is not pleasing to God. Sometimes we don’t know why God allows bad things to happen to us. However, God can use them to teach us and make us into better people.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28
If we put out trust in the Lord, we have hope and peace. And true peace only comes from the Lord. When we go through certain things, we may be a help to others that are going through some of the things we have been through. God uses us all in different ways. We just need to be willing to be used of Him.
