reach the deceived

Remember the old saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” Likewise, suffering is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore give thanks for suffering. It is my tool. I use it to reshape the human spirit. I use it to bring those who are lost into my Arms. I use it to bring Truth to those who are deceived. I use it to set prisoners of self-directed lives free. I use it to keep My own sheep straining to hear My Voice despite distractions. I use it to encourage My friends to become more intimate with Me. I use it to draw out faith like one would draw water from a glass with a straw. I use it to open blind eyes and deaf ears. Psalm 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now Your word do I keep [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it].
