Things Are Not Always About Us

Some things happen to us and our loved ones and we immediately think it was because of us or about us, but it might hot have been about us at all. Perhaps God wanted to use our suffering, our tribulation, or our good fortune to influence someone else. To make another person stronger, aware, or knowledgeable so that in the future it would be better for that person or another person who that person might have contact with because of the knowledge or experience gained in interacting with us during our troubles or our success. God is unfathomable and His ways are not discernible by us. So in the future if something bad happens to us or our friends and family, or something good, don’t dwell on what God meant it to do to us or tell us, or influence our lives, because it might not have been about us at all. Only God can see the subtleties and ramifications of all actions on all beings.
