God has a reason for what happens to me and you..

Philippians 1:12 NIV
Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

Apostle Paul was one of the Apostles who suffered a lot because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His response to the Lord's calling was the reason for His suffering as he was called to preach the gospel to all the nations. The Word of God was his strength and the circumstances that he overcame were a reminder of God's power and greatness. Through his suffering the gospel advanced. Though he was the only one who was experiencing those sufferings however he went through them so that many could be saved. 

God uses our situations to save others. You might feel as if you're the only person who is going through the sufferings that you are facing today without thinking of the lessons that you will acquire as well as the wisdom you will gain to advise others who will be going through the same situation. When we are going through difficulties we often wish that there would be someone to advise us or even someone who would be able to relate to what we are going through. God speaks to others through our situations and He uses our lives to show evidence of His living power. God will not leave you nor forsake you as He is the living God.
