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.
