God Can Turn Everything For Good
Either you believe or do not believe in God, I recommend that you, with the open mind, sign up for Our Daily Bread Ministries devotional emails for a daily doze of wisdom, encouragement and food for thought.
I am a true believer that we are all children of this world. Either you call it Universe, God, Nature or Alien, but all of us have some sort of idea of creation. Whatever that idea is if we strictly use the experiences we actually have, we have to admit that to reach the mind of a child and to speak to the child effectively we have to get to the child's level and learn to speak that child's language: we get down on the floor to be on the same level, we let the child be in charge of the conversation or a play, we figure out the way to say what we want without actually saying it, or better have that child come up with the conclusions we have already established for ourselves by playing and setting them up for success with the scavenger hunt, putting clues throughout the game for them to find the answers for themselves.
Same we are, the children of the world. The creator has to communicate to us in the language we understand...the languages that we have created .... through the means that we have established while evolving as human species. We are the children of freedom of choice, free to choose what we believe in, right or wrong...we have been given the freedom to decide what we want to be.
We want our children to be happy and successful - so does the Creator of humanity. The biological invisible strings of love hold us together. I want to love my father and my mother, as much as they want to love me. I want to be loved by my father and my mother, as much as they want to be loved by me. The Creator wants to love us and be loved by us. The Creator wants us to do good and be happy. So the creator has to speak our language in order to reach out with the words of encouragement, faith and love.
So there I go about my day, dwelling in my thoughts feeling sorry for myself, I open my laptop and I read my Daily Devotional:

"From persecution to great joy—just like in the early church. When “great persecution broke out” (Acts 8:1), “those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went” (v. 4). As a result, there was “great joy” in a city in Samaria (v. 8).
When forces in our world stand against the truths and teachings of Scripture—especially the gospel—that’s not the time to give up. God moves in powerful ways when the church faces such difficulties.
Peter said, “Do not be surprised” at such fiery trials (1 Peter 4:12). In such cases you’re “blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (v. 14). God has the power to turn persecution into something precious."

I have learned throughout my life that the Creator is always reaching out and talking to you as long as you are willing to slow down and listen you will see and hear.
Happy Sunday to Everyone! It is hard sometimes to see above your own misery, but there is always a higher purpose, there is always a deeper meaning and there is always plenty of love for all of us.
Love your parents. Pick up the phone and call your parents right now if you can. If you can't, just take a moment to feel all the love you have for them. Tell them you love them, enjoy that love, because ultimately - love is all they want from you.
Fight for parental rights. Sign the petition. There is right and wrong, and separating parents and children by force is wrong.
