It’s really something.
Many people who have asked about Susanna’s accident and recovery have also shared some of their own personal challenges. I’ve heard of other near accidents on that same stretch of road. I’ve heard others explain broken bones and internal injuries. I’ve been told stories of hospitalization and multiple accounts of aches and pains. This is what struck me, “Everyone has something.” Your “something” might be different than my “something.” Some “somethings” come one right after the other. Other times they are spaced out. Some “somethings” resolve quickly while other “somethings” hang on for years. The “somethings” are all different, but everyone has “something.”One of my professors once said that God takes us through different events in life for two reasons: to show us his love and so that we can help others.
He said that whatever you are going through right now someone else has either gone through, is going through, or will go through later. As you go through it God puts people there to help you get through it. At times he may surround you with others who also are going through the same thing. Then at a later point you may even be able to help someone else. After you see how he carried you through and helped you, you have a deeper understanding and then you can speak first-hand about God’s mercy and grace. Because sooner or later you’ll run into someone else in the same situation. And God’s grace will be enough for them too. Thus he will care for them through you; you may just be the answer to their prayer. Yes, it’s really something.
“My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9
