About this listen

 There comes a moment in life when God allows you to see the real character of a person. Not the mask. Not the charm. Not the words. The heart. And when that moment happens, it can feel painful, confusing, and even unfair. But one thing I’ve learned — and I need people to really hear this — God does not expose things to hurt you. He exposes things to protect you.God had to let you see the bad so you could finally understand what was truly going on. You weren’t crazy. You weren’t overthinking. You weren’t “reading too much into it.” God wanted you to see clearly. He never wants His children walking in darkness, confusion, or deception. Everything about God is rooted in truth.Scripture tells us plainly that whatever is hidden will be brought to the light. That’s not a threat — that’s a promise. If God loves you, He will not allow lies to sit over your eyes forever. He will pull the cover back. And when He does, it may hurt, but it will also free you.A lot of times, when something falls apart, we blame God. We ask, “Why did You let this happen?” But what if the real reason wasn’t punishment at all? What if God was saying, “I needed to get your attention.” Sometimes the process hurts because we were comfortable in something that wasn’t good for us. And God, being a loving Father, will disrupt comfort if it’s keeping you from Him.God is not a liar. He doesn’t manipulate. He doesn’t deceive. When He shows you someone’s true character, it’s because He doesn’t want you trapped in something that could destroy you later. He’s saving you from deeper pain down the road. And even though it feels overwhelming in the moment, it’s actually mercy in disguise.Think about Apostle Paul. Before he became Paul, he was Saul — confident, religious, and completely convinced he was right. God could have gently whispered to him, but instead, God knocked him down and blinded him. That encounter wasn’t pleasant. It was terrifying. Paul was left in despair, confusion, and darkness. But it had to happen. God needed his attention.Once Paul heard God’s voice, everything changed. What felt like devastation became destiny. His hardship wasn’t random — it was purposeful. And in the end, God received the glory.That’s how God works with us too.Sometimes He allows situations to collapse because we weren’t listening before. Sometimes He lets us see betrayal, dishonesty, or manipulation so we never walk into it again. And sometimes, He uses pain as a doorway back to Him — not because He enjoys our suffering, but because He loves us too much to leave us lost.We have to stop seeing God as the villain in our story when He’s actually the rescuer. The process had to happen. The truth had to come out. The light had to shine. And once it does, God says, “Now let Me heal you. Let Me guide you. Let Me be your God.”Every single thing you’ve been through — yes, even the parts that broke your heart — God can use to make something brand new. That’s why gratitude matters. Not because the pain was good, but because God is faithful through it.So if God has recently shown you the truth about a person, a situation, or even yourself, don’t run from Him. Thank Him. He didn’t expose it to shame you. He exposed it to save you.And I hope that encourages you today. 💛
