Violet Liddle felt God calling her to missions, yet the doors didn’t open. Instead she became a maid. She worked for the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill, living out her Christian testimony. When she later worked for revival groups in England, she said, “It must seem as though my life has been made up of lots of bits and pieces… but I can see how all the different experiences have added up and prepared me for what was to come next.”¹

That was true for Joseph, wasn’t it? All his experiences prepared him for his role as prime minister. But the same was also true for his brother Judah, who had sold Joseph into slavery. Years later, he was broken over his sin and offered himself as a prisoner. God used it to unite his family.

Everything that happens to us—even our failures and confessed sins—will somehow work for God in His timing. Thank the Lord for all your experiences, which He weaves into a tapestry of usefulness.

God leads His children step by step. I knew that was true.
