The Spirit of God wants us to know today that, even though we might not understand why we had to go through or are still going through certain things, that it is for a higher purpose!
Even when what we go through was not ordained by God, He still works it out for our good and His glory.
I don't know how He does it, but He does, and that is enough for me!
He redeems what was lost and broken and makes all things beautiful.
Just like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where the potter takes broken pottery and puts it back together using gold, making it uniquely beautiful.
He doesn't hide the scars, the broken places, He highlights them, because that's what makes us beautiful and powerful, and that's what gives Him all the glory!
He took a young man, gave him the he ability to interpret dreams and see the future. He was despised and betrayed by his own brothers, falsely accused and imprisoned, and made him a wise, powerful ruler so he could save his people from starvation.
He took a little orphan girl, blessed her with beauty, humilty and poise. She was raised by her cousin, exiled to Babylon, and made her queen so that she could save her people from annihilation.
This is who He Is and this is what He does.
Nothing is waisted, nothing goes unseen.
He uses our broken places to bring healing to others and that is the highest, most beautiful place to be!😭
Don't loose hope beloved, He Is with you in the furnace of affliction, he's the fourth man in the fire!
He will preserve you. He will brake the shackles that keep you bound and you will not even smell like smoke!
Your breakthrough is near, it is just a matter of time, trust Him and obey Him and you will see that it was all worth it!

26 Judah said to his brothers, “What do we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood (murder)? 27 Come, let us [instead] sell him to these Ishmaelites [and [g]Midianites] and not lay our hands on him, because he is our brother and our flesh.” So his brothers listened to him and agreed. 28 Then as the [h]Midianite [and Ishmaelite] traders were passing by, the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and they sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And so they took Joseph [as a captive] into Egypt.

7 God sent me [to Egypt] ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to keep you alive by a great escape. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

I see four men untied, walking around in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the appearance of the fourth is like [d]a son of the gods!” 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing furnace and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, servants of the Most High God, come out [of there]! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. 27 The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s counselors gathered around them and saw that in regard to these men the fire had no effect on their bodies—their hair was not singed, their clothes were not scorched or damaged, even the smell of smoke was not on them.

God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered. No matter how far away you end up, God, your God, will get you out of there and bring you back to the land your ancestors once possessed.
