I've seen and had a lot of tragedy in my life. I would never want anyone to walk in my shoes. My shoes are wide and flat. I've experienced lots of sadness in my shoes. I wished someone else could wear them but unfortunately, God gave me those shoes. His plan for me outweighed the pain I've endured. He had me in mind for my shoes.

Do you see yourself, your actions, and your thoughts when you read God’s word? James talks about looking into God’s mirror and walking away forgetting what you look like (James 1:23-24). Trials are not for you to point the finger at others or to use as a pawn to make idle promises to do better. Trials designed to bring you closer to God, to embrace His love, mercy, and grace. Remember raising your children (if you had any) and after you scold them, they ran to you with tears in their eyes and hug you tightly, a silent plea for forgiveness. When Go...
