I would always wonder why bad things happened to good people. I would go “God, she’s such a sweet person. Why would you hurt her like that? Was she not good enough? Did she make you mad? What is it?”. It took a while for me to get an answer, but after much stretching and growing, I finally got one.
Bad things don’t happen to good people because God is upset. In all honesty, those “bad” things aren’t really bad things at all. The enemy may have implemented them for your bad, but God intercedes so that they may work out for your good. The enemy ultimately comes with one goal in mind. TO DESTROY. I know the Bible says he comes to steal and kill too (John 10:10), but those are just introductory points in my opinion. His overall goal is to destroy any and everything that was birthed from God. His overall goal is to destroy you.
That sounds horrible, I know, but let me tell you how that could NEVER come to pass. God is the orchestrator and ruler of all things. He created this earth. Might of fact, He created the devil as well. Of course he wasn’t the devil when he was created, but in the end that’s what he turned out to be. There is NOTHING the enemy can do without permission from God. He cannot pass go. He cannot collect a hundred dollars. The enemy can only do what God allows and if God allows it please believe that every intent of the enemy is cast out and replaced with the blueprint of God.
Whatever hellish situation you’ve gone through, you’re going through, or going to go through is not bad. The intent of it was bad. And true enough the birthing of it was meant for the destruction of you, but God. He didn’t, He doesn’t, and He will never see fit. He only comes so that you may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). God is not upset with you. He is not angry with you. He does not do anything with the intent of harming you. He only operates with one thing in mind. The fulfillment of your purpose. The bettering of you. So remain encouraged. You’re suppose to be here. You will not lose. You will not be defeated.
This storm is not your Superior. It is your Strengthener.
I love you so very much and never forget that you were created with a divine purpose that will ultimately lead to your destiny.
Sincerely, SaTara West
