Tested Deeply, Used Greatly.

God never uses anyone greatly without first testing them deeply. The very seasons that make you feel unqualified are often the places where God begins His deepest work. He doesn’t recruit from the pedestal—He calls from the pit, because rescued people carry the compassion and grace to rescue others.

1 Corinthians 1:27 

“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”

If God has called you, He will find you—just like He found Moses in hiding, David in the field, and Elijah in the cave. His purpose over your life will not be abandoned.

Psalm 138:8 

“The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.”

Sometimes, God sends us into storms—not to harm us, but to reveal what He’s placed within us. The Gospel doesn’t promise ease, but it offers hope in hardship.

John 16:33 

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Your hardest seasons often become the soil of your greatest growth. He promises to work even in the pain for a greater purpose.

Romans 8:28 

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

And when the process feels painful, remember that God isn’t breaking you—He’s birthing something new.

Isaiah 66:9 

“Do I bring a baby to the moment of birth, and not let it be born?” says the Lord. “Do I close up a mother’s body when I bring the baby to the moment of birth?” says your God.

You are not being buried—you are being planted.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for using even the hard places to grow me. When I feel unqualified or weary, remind me that You are still at work. Let every test shape me, every trial strengthen me, and every storm draw me closer to You. Fulfill Your purpose in me. Amen.

Faith Declaration: I am chosen by God—not because of perfection, but because of His purpose. I trust His timing, His process, and His plan. I may be tested deeply, but I will be used greatly.

The greatest callings are often forged in the hardest seasons. I may not always understand the why, but I trust the Who. God is building something beautiful in me, even through the storms. I am not forgotten—I am being prepared.

God uses storms to shape strength. Tested deeply. Used greatly. Chosen for more. God bless you abundantly.
