Can anything good come from Nazareth

You could easily replace Nazareth with your own place. Maybe you would rather replace Nazareth with your own situation. It might be a lost relationship, or a personal disease, or an unexpected layoff. In my life one of my lowest points was the day I realized that my friends had returned to college when I had been told to go home and grow up. I can remember going to bed that night and crying desperately that I had ruined my life. I didn't admit to the existence of God then, but on that bed something in me pushed me to begin reading profound books that I had avoided. Something in me challenged me to really use the mind God had given me. A better me began to take shape that night. I am not saying that all situations are good. That would be an obvious error. I do mean to say that good is embedded as a possibility in any situation. Experience is a great teacher, and even if the learning was not helpful for me at the moment, it can be immensely beneficial to others who can learn from me later as I share what I learned. Jesus can redeem anything that happens to us if we offer it to Him. Always ask God to help you see the moment as He sees it. Look at every reality with a God's eye view. How can God use this moment for the benefit of your life of for the good of others? I know something good can always come from ________!!!
