Sometimes harm feels permanent.

A cruel word that echoes for years.

A betrayal that steals peace.

A loss that leaves the chest hollow and aching.

What if—without erasing the pain—Jehovah could weave the very threads of harm into something good? Joseph saw that happen. “Although you meant to harm me,” he told his brothers, “God intended it to turn out well and to preserve many people alive, as he is doing today.” (Genesis 50:20)

And yet—before the ending was visible—there were nights Joseph must have stared into the dark, unsure if God was still listening. Nights like ours. Nights when grief robs sleep and thoughts loop endlessly. The psalmist cried, “I have been sleepless from grief. Strengthen me according to your word.” (Psalms 119:28)

We may not feel qualified to endure. In truth, we aren’t—at least not alone. “Not that we of ourselves are adequately qualified to consider that anything comes from us, but our being adequately qualified comes from God.” (2 Corinthians 3:5)

So what if your present trial is not the final chapter?

What if, one day, you will see the harm transfigured—become part of the story that saves someone else?

And what if, even now, Jehovah is already at work in the unseen?

He is.

He will.

He does not leave.
