There is nothing in our lives that has appeared by chance. All the dynamics took place to develop us into all we've become. The slightest change in any one of our choices would have strategically reset the course of our existence. Every choice or unforeseen tragedy took place for a reason. No matter what we happen to uncover along the way, it causes us to either become the better or worse for it. There is nothing about my life I would've ever changed. To have changed one iota, would have totally thrown me completely off course. Our successes and failures in life worked to create the product that is seen before you. It doesn't matter if you're a product of unfortunate circumstances or born with a silver spoon, you are what you are. It is always encouraging to know how God can take what we thought was a misfortune and create an opportunity out of it. I know this to be a fact because He has taken all of my messed ups and turned them around for my good. I've compiled 103 inspirational poems that speak about adversity being the secret ingredient that pushes us onto the pathway to purpose.
