Poverty is not a curse.
Homelessness is not a curse.
But maybe it can be a blessing!
Do you realize that God can use anything in our lives to draw us closer to Him? God can use whatever means necessary to clear away the stuff that distracts us, the stuff that keeps us from turning to Him.
Trials and temptations of all kinds might come our way, not to punish us, but to turn us around, and to cause us to seek God. Even poverty and homelessness might actually gifts, blessings, intended to clear our lives and turn us back to our relationship with God.
If you are struggling today, don’t think you’re being cursed. Don’t think of it as some judgment condemning you. And most of all, don’t think that God isn’t there. Don’t think you’re alone. Instead realize that God may be much more involved in the situation than you think, drawing you to Himself. God intends to have a relationship with you. God loves you. And He will use whatever means necessary to clear away the stuff that distracts us, the stuff that keeps us from turning to Him.
Poverty is not a curse.
Homelessness is not a curse.
But maybe it can be a blessing…
If we turn to God.
