No one needs to teach us the law of retaliation (an eye for an eye). Our flesh is only satisfied when our aggressor becomes a victim. But this avenue only produces more retaliation. God has another path for us.

God begins by guiding us into His perfect plan with His biblical principles. Then come our faults and those of others; pain and broken heart. But this is not the end. God’s perfect plan includes healing, forgiveness, and resurrection.

When I got rejected, I questioned every detail, which only led to more pain. But I’ve learned there are better ways to deal with rejection.

We all want God to fix our problems and take away our suffering. But sometimes what God takes out of our lives is a person, material possession, or activity that we loved very much. But thanks to our shepherd, we will lack nothing.

Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the failure of a relationship, or a project, we all go through times of grief or disappointment. But as hurtful as it can be, grief can also cleanse our hearts.
