More than a few times I have found myself feeling this inside if not bold enought to ask it out loud. It was not until today that I realized something. That although we look at people that come into our lives as people God had placed there "for us"...it is very possible that He place you there "for them".
God will often use our life to do something in the life of someone else. Our view is limited to our world. Our world revloves around us; effects us; allowing space for us to forget that we are not everything.
A great example of this is, when we are in a relationship and it ends, our heart breaks as we try to comprehend the "reason" for this tragegy that has be forced upon us, when in reality, it may not have happend to you or even for you, but in spite of you in order to help the other person.
Maybe you were the vessel God used to show the other person compassion, trust and love so as they move forward, they will know how to accept it the next time they are exposed to it.
We are not in control. God is. Life may not seem fair as we look exclusively at our situation, but God is always fair and everything He does is for good and He has a good result planned for you...not in spite of the pain you feel...but because of it.
So instead of "Why me God?" we should say..."Wow, me God?

That's so true. God is always fair, He is Righteous. His Word says,"We know all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose". Doesn't mean all that happens to us is good, but God is able to turn it around for our good. I believe when one's heart has been broken, due to a failed relationship, if they trust God, He can restore them through time and forgiving the person who caused the pain. Forgiveness, is working for our good. You made it plain when you said, God has a plan, not in spite of the pain but because of it. He's not going to judge me for how others treat me, but by how I treat others. When showing the other person compassion, trust and love, as they move to the next relationship, I'm hoping they will not only know how to accept it, but they've learned how to reciprocate.
