[00:00:00] Have you ever lost something, a job, a relationship, or an opportunity and thought to yourself, this is the worst thing that could have happened to me? Only later to realize that it was the best thing that could have happened? What if I told you that some of your greatest wins will come disguised as losses? Stick around because I'm going to show you why losing isn't always a bad
[00:00:26] thing. And sometimes a win can come in the form of a loss. So this week's verse of the week is John chapter 15 verse 2 and it reads, He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be more fruitful. The more I reflect on my journey through life, the more I see the losses that I incurred that I thought were devastating at the time
[00:00:53] were actually God's way of redirecting me to something better. And yet so many people struggle to see it that way. We mourn what we think is the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the perfect opportunity, convinced that we'll never find anything better. But what if that loss was actually
[00:01:14] a blessing in disguise? What if that loss was God's way of protecting you from something that wasn't meant for you? Now let me be clear, I am not talking about the loss of a loved one. That is a different kind of pain. What I'm talking about are situations where we grieve things that were never truly good for us.
[00:01:39] Jobs that drained us. Relationships that were toxic. Friendships that had run their course. I can't tell you how many times I've watched people hold on to things that were clearly hurting them, unable to see that God was doing them a favor by removing them. And trust me, I get it. I remember several years ago when I lost my job that I felt like my entire world was crashing down. I was terrified.
[00:02:07] Okay. But looking back on that memory, I see how God was using those moments to show me skills and talents. I didn't know that I possessed. Okay. That so-called loss forced me to explore new opportunities. So during this time, because of that loss, I was able to start the Hustle in Faith podcast.
[00:02:31] I got into voiceover acting. I recently published two books and I'm about to work on a project that I never in a million years imagined myself being a part of. I literally won by losing. So if you are in a season of loss right now, whether it be a job, a relationship or something else, know this,
[00:02:55] God is not trying to hurt you. God is trying to help you. There is beauty in losing things that were not meant for you. And while the journey may be tough, the destination is so worthwhile. And just because you lost something doesn't mean that you're losing in life. Sometimes it's God's signal
[00:03:21] that he's clearing the way for something greater. So I want you to trust God, stay strong and keep moving forward. And remember, if you're everything to everyone, the risk being no one. You never know who you will inspire. See you in the next video.
