God Never Waists a Hurt

-


I came across something I thought could be interesting to some readers….

According to Pastor Rick Warren, he says that there are five things that “SHAPE” a person, they are:

SPIRITUAL-  
What is your gift?  Everyone is gifted to do something!

HEART-
What do I love?  We all have different passions.

ABILITY-                   
What is my natural inclination?  Some people are really good with money, animals, people…etc.       
                  
PERSONALITY-       
Some people enjoy routine or variety…this will depend on our purpose.

EXPERIENCES-       
Vocational 
Family- good and bad
Educational- what we learn at school
Spiritual                                           
And my personal favorite…  

Painful experiences

I read that God never wastes a hurt, and to me, this is because it is meant to be used for something good…something better.  Every time something negative or hurtful happened in my life – something better came along, and it seems to come in the mist of my blindness: a friend, opportunity, and an idea…a change.  Assuming everyone is hurting or has been hurt at some time or another, may be it could bring a little comfort in knowing that there is a more powerful and useful reason for the reasons in which you have been brought pain.

Goodbye, Butterflies

-
Do you remember the days when liking someone was just enough?  For some, it didn't matter how they treated you, what kind of attention the gave or didn't give to you, whether or not they had goals, who their friends were, how they got along with their family, if they were reliable, responsible, and whether or not they would make a good father... or mother. When I was in high school, I chose the boys who were cute because they gave me "butterflies"; up into my mid-twenty's I chose the guys who had a nice face, muscular body, and who knew how to have fun because they gave me excitement...and you know what that got me? A LOT of good pictures LOL! J/K :-) No...but seriously, I was shallow, but then again can we really help who we are attracted to and how they make us feel?  Nevertheless, I found that its not about choosing the guy because of who he is, how he is, or how "excited" he makes you feel - its about choosing for you . As the years go by, we s...

The Law of Love

-
I remember once there was this guy I dated and I have to be honest…he was an attractive guy and fun to hangout with, but I automatically knew I could never see myself with him in my future.   Now I look back and ask myself why? I mean, how could that be if I never gave him a chance?   Truth be told, I didn’t want to give him a chance, but only because I knew in my heart it could never be.   Is that something a person automatically knows?   It must be…could it be that –that was one of Gods gifts he gave to us?   An unknown, somewhat psychic ability to determine if someone is right for us, whether we know them or not? All I can say is, I too, have been in his shoes before just as many others have and its not a great feeling knowing someone automatically knows they can’t see themselves with you – it doesn’t even have to do with you liking the person, but it has to do with you being rejected.   The let down is in hearing that you can never be that “specia...

BOOK RECOMMENDATION OF THE MONTH: THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

-

It's been awhile before I read a book as comforting as the one I am recommending.  Regardless of your religion/spirituality, this book opened the path to new perceptions about difficult situations.  I can honestly say this book has helped me tremendously from falling into depression; only some books leaving you feeling happy after reading a few pages, and this is definitely one of those books. ABOUT THE BOOK: The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God's purposes for putting us on earth. READ MORE: http://purposedriven.com/books/pdlbook/
