It saddens to see many people using what they have passed through [or are passing through] as excuses for staying at low level of productivity. Life has brought its strong hands on almost all of us in one way or the other. Challenges are common to all people. So you are not the only one. Different things in different forms in our different lives have happened to almost all of us differently at different points in time.
As a little kid, I remember our penniless grandmother would convince us that sugar and cold palp (èko tútù) was the best food in the world; and we believed her. All you need to do is to dip morsels of palp in powered-sugar like that of amala in gbegiri, then you are good to go. It took several years later before we realized that a highly concentrated 'povertic acid' had been added to our equation. We went through all that because of the glory that will soon be revealed in us. There are usually plenty blessings in dirty experiences.
A man was born blind and Jesus said it wasn't a consequence of his or his parents' sin but that God's glory was wrapped in that his dirty situation. Can you imagine the kind of emotional, mental and physical frustrations the man would have gone through in the 40 years of his life? Yet God was still committed to his case because a glory was involved.
Don't make your situation look as if it cannot heal due to the extent of damage that has been done to you by circumstances, culture, environment or people around you. Lying beneath every ash is a beauty. Just under every spirit of heaviness is oil of joy. There's a garment of praise after every mourning. After every midnight is a dawn! To God, his servants are gold in his hands while himself is gold purifier. It is God's way to perfect his vessels in the refiner's fire and fuller's soap untill the glory embedded in them begins to radiate. If you stay long enough with your story, it will yied up its enwrapped glory!
