ANW's Fruitful Friday
What beauty has derived from your tragedy?
It is difficult to see any beauty in tragedy, as the enormous sorrow and suffering and distress and destruction can be overwhelming and devastating. Yet, it does happen, and beauty will eventually reveal itself.
Not sure I would have believed this seven years ago, as I found myself in a tragic situation, after functioning for years in a toxic working environment that was considered a soft concern. You either got over it and handled it on your own or you didn't. I tried, and continued to stay, but my heart told me otherwise. Tragically, I suffered an stress-induced heart at work. I thought to myself, how is almost losing my life beautiful.
Today, I see and experience 46 reasons and counting, why this tragedy is so beautiful, as God has restored my life. Instead of heading to work and dreading, fearing, or worrying about what is going to happen, I, now, look forward to going to work, every day, with no fear or worry, only joy, peace, and happiness. What could be more beautiful than that.
So, every day, I give thanks to God who has lived through tragedy, "the obedience of" (Romans 5:19) His son, so we can benefit from His beauty, "[being] made righteous" (5:19). #ABeautifulLife
