Hong Kong - Personal Genesis Reflection
Genesis 39:23(b)
"because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did."
I feel like in my life, God has made everything that would have bad, and turned it good. Looking back at times that I feel like what I do can never be redeemed/seen as good, God has somehow turned it into successes. Ex. In Vida, I was part of a prayer team but I felt like I wasn't contributing as much, yet, everything I prayed for to turn out good turned out perfectly and the Vida was a huge success.
