Somebody needs to hear how God met you in your storm too.
God didn’t give me a reason.
He gave me a reminder.
📖 A verse I hadn’t planned to read.
🎵 A song that hit me differently.
💬 A message from someone I hadn’t heard from in months.
It wasn’t an answer.
It was a whisper:
“I am with you, I love you, and I have a plan for you!”
I kept asking God:
❓“Did I do something wrong?”
❓“Is this a punishment?”
❓“Are you even listening?”
Silence.
I felt like I was leaving voicemails on heaven’s answering machine.
@X God ain’t testing you to break you.
He’s testing you to BUILD you.
You say you want purpose? Growth? Elevation?
Then don’t run from the test, pass it.

If you don’t own your past, your past will own you!
Embrace your journey, learn from it, and strive to do better!
Remember, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
