19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[b] should be kept alive, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.


teach me to love like that Lord to those that broke my heart but need You to heal them from all the evil lies!

Also remember in your brokeness God holds every tear, remembers every injustice against you, will judge every injustice righteously, is always working for your good within the spiritual and you are never forsaken, forgotten or left to defend yourself alone. The Great Physician will heal your broken heart.

Understanding that it is God that can take an evil act and turn it into something good...... He can take the terrible things people do to others and turn it into something profitable for them.

About as close as we can get to this is to obey Jesus when He said "love your enemies." An old saying goes: Kill 'em with kindness....

There is a Scripture that says:

Proverbs 15:1 1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

God bless you

amen and amen

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:34-39‬ ‭

God took the most painful moments of his son , and turned and have all creation hope for eternal
Life beyond death , persecutions , insult and heartache that will surely occur in the dark world we dwell in currently

no matter the situation or injustice done here to a Christian it will turn into thier eternal glory with Christ in the kingdom

even suffering and death cannot seperate us from Christ Jesus and his all consumning love for us who believe

the worst of situations work for the good of those who love the lord , it’s not always evident to our eyes but it one day will be

1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1Co 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
1Co 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
