CHARACTER
Trials and tribulations, we have all been through some. There are a number of women that have been through, rape, divorce, molestations, physical and emotional abuse, and much more. Many people think that God caused these things to build their character. That is not true at all. Those were attacks from the enemy, but many women have grown from those type of things. For some, those very trials and tribulations have caused them to accept the Lord in their lives. As the scripture says, Genesis 50:20 (New International Version) You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
Ladies, God is able to turn every circumstance and situation around. We cannot allow life tragedy and situations to get the best of us. Those very things that were meant to destroy you, can build you. You have to reach a point in your life where you say, no more! No more will I allow the attacks that I went through, or going through stop my life. I am going to trust God and keep the faith and press forward forgetting those things which are behind as Paul said. So no, God does not cause the things mentioned above to happen, but from those things character is built. You determine in which way your character will be built from your past or present situations or circumstances.
