Afflicted with Purpose

Ruth 1:21
I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
The loneliness and the afflictions of trials and tribulations seem so hurtful at times. It seems like there is no one who can understand or relate. Sometimes showing purified love to people often sucker punches me right in the heart. I look around for that one in obedience hoping that you would pour your love them and they would receive your love in reverence. Where are they? Those that don’t think they’re so smart? Those that don’t have you stuffed in a box or on a shelf waiting for a convenient time to let you work? Where are the ones whose heart is truly after righteousness and who are open to all possibilities of your wonders. I’ve been a fool for the wrong reasons and for the right. Surely I’ve learned how to be abased. I’ve spoken my testimony in hope while others looked upon me in shame and mockery. I’m broken unto thee O’ Lord but in all my brokenness I still believe you can use the pieces to edify one person who is in need of receiving your purified love. Pick up the pieces Lord for that one.
