It hurts to be hurt—repeatedly!
But consider this:
“When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper.
They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end,
you end up polished and they end up useless" chris colfer.
Incredible though it may seem, God often employs the hurtful actions of people to bless us! He uses them like abrasive or coarse “sandpaper,” to polish or “smooth off the rough spots” in our lives. Think of the envy & betrayal of Joseph's brothers, the lies & slander of Potiphar’s wife, and the forgetfulness of the chief-cupbearer. Amazingly, God used these hurtful actions to prepare and promote Joseph to become prime minister Genesis 39-41!
Are you wondering about the prickly, mean, and vicious people who keep showing up in your life? They’re providential sand papers. Be polished by them! God uses even the worst people to bring out the best in us. Shine through your hurts!
