Lessons Bring Blessings

A wounded child comes into your life as a lesson.  Some people reject or ignore the lesson and therefore don't receive the blessing.  But successfully parenting a wounded child involves a journey of learning from and through the lesson. God is using your child as a lesson to teach you what He needs you to learn so you can complete the task/s He has for you to do.  It involves recognizing your weakness and needs and learning to overcome them, how to use your strengths and resources effectively, opening your eyes to how He sees people and situations and helping you develop into the person He plans for you to become.  It is through this lesson that blessings come into your life including other people who will help you on this journey.

Joseph had a lesson to learn, one that he would have most likely not volunteered for.  During the time Joseph's lesson first took place things might have seemed hopeless and confusing and resulted in doubts occurring.   Then things turned around for Joseph for a number of years.  However God knew Joseph's lesson was not complete so He put him into a situation where he was most likely to allow himself to be lead and to learn.  And from this lesson came blessings beyond anything Joseph could have imagined.  

Will you accept the lesson God has presented you with?  If you have already completed your lesson, feel free to share what you learned and the blessings you received through and from the lesson.
