God is in the restoration business and He will give us the tools for strength. I know what intense pain feels like and I know what trusting in the Lord feels like too. My pain is leading to more faith (trust) in God, which is leading to freedom and peace, which is strengthening me to help others. God is turning my pain into another's gain. And what the devil meant for evil , God is turning it around. This is what He did for Joseph when those Joseph loved turned their backs on him. Yes yes yall, God turned Joseph's despair into repair. Then Joseph went on to become mighty in the world. He didn't despise his small/humble beginnings, which were necessary for growth. Why? Because God uses those who society rejects, the misfits, the lost, the ostracized, the cast-asides, the judged. God loves making ways out of no ways and making the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Yes, you're more than a conqueror. This goes out to everyone who has gone through something, who is currently going through something, or who will go through something. My current circumstance?

Can't quit, won't quit. There is much work to do for the kingdom. In the kingdom. God's kingdom. There's inspiration all over the place. It's never over. I came across an inspirational article .

I will never give up. I will Because weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning ( Psalm 30:5 ). I'm a witness.
