God will use your suffering for His glory and for your purpose

      ** So many times my life seemed completely hopeless. It seemed as if the purpose I had once possessed was completely over. The tide had turned and I felt as if I no longer could approach life with a sense of fulfillment and motivation to impact people. I knew Jeremiah 29:11 said, " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I knew God was always true to His Word and I had always had the assurance that He was always in control. Yet for some reason, I felt as if that certain time in my life, when I was at my lowest, and completely helpless, it seemed as if God had forgotten about me. However, behind the scenes God was moving and working.
                 I knew God's Word was all powerful. I knew in my life before the time of my injury, that He had always been true in what He promised to me in His Word. I had just been studying in one of my classes of how God was sovereign and in control. Yet, when I looked at my paralyzed and broken body, my hope was almost depleted to nothing. When I realized my eyes were unable to view images with the same clearity as they had when I read in "The Purpose Driven" the poem by Russel Kelfer. Those same eyes which had been reading to find Purpose, now looked hopelessly at his disabled, broken body. I cried out to God, "Why", and I even asked my parents why they had prayed so hard for me to come back. I thought, "Man, I could have been in heaven right now, rather than sitting paralyzed in a wheelchair, and experiencing all this discomfort and hopelessness."

       I believe the Poem by Russel Kelfer in "Purpose Driven Life" describes perfectly my life since then. It reads, "You are who you are for a reason. You're part of an intricate plan. You're a precious and perfect unique design, Called God's Special Man or Woman. You look like you for a reason. Our God made no mistake. He knit you together within the womb, You're just what He wanted to make. 

The Parents you had were the ones He chose, And no matter how you may feel, They were custom designed with God's plan in mind, And they bear the Master's Seal. 

No, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into His likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason, You've been formed by the Master's Rod. You are who you are, beloved. 
There is a God!" 








To truly walk in Purpose, our bodies need everything that was in the Garden Of Eden.
