Many of you understand,don't you?

For as long as i can remember,even as a very young child growing up in the midst of poverty,deprivation,day to day emotional and physical abuse,i knew in my heart of hearts that what God had allowed me to endure as an innocent child was but a strong,severe learning experience that God would use to strengthen me for my welfare as well as those of others.I learned the power of forgiveness and that forgiving doesn't necessarily mean one should,or needs to reconcile with those who abused and/or betrayed them;forgiveness is a gift,a release to yourself more than those who've harmed you.I learned that with every gain there is loss and with every loss there is gain,but one learns that losses such as a break up,a divorce,the loss of a job,the death of family,friends,or beloved pets can elevate you to a higher spiritual plane,thus coming to realize that everything is in Divine Order;every bit of it!Thank you for taking the time to read this.God bless!
