God sends us all things to help us, and our faith, grow. We may be so incredibly confused as to WHY He does certain things or lets things happen, but He wants us to have faith that He will work all things together for good.
There's a cool song called "Beauty From Pain" by Superchick, and the chorus is this:
"After all this has passed, I still will remain.
After I've cried my last, there will be beauty from pain.
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again,
and there will be beauty from pain. You will bring beauty from my pain."
Like a wood carver carving away chips of wood to make a masterpiece...God must first chisel away pieces, take things away that we overvalue...all to help us grow and mature.
We must rely on God. When we start putting PEOPLE above Christ, and strive to please others or push people to accept us we lose sight of the one we are supposed to be pleasing. We should live for God, love like God, and pray to God. That is how miracles happen...that is what turns the world upside down.
