You were hung on a
relational clothesline and dismissed. You were literally hung out to dry. Those
who did this to you thought by hanging you in this isolated place they would
never see you again. But God had another outcome in mind. While you were hanging
in isolation He began to work on our heart. You could go nowhere. You could do
nothing. You were isolated with your thoughts and emotions and made the
decision to let God have His way with your pain.
Just like a garment
that is hung out to dry after the rough and tumble experience in a washing
machine, this experience has cleansed you. In the washing cycle the deep-seated
grit of resentment was finally dislodged. After a season of being hung in the
drying wind of the Spirit, you are now ready for God to take you down from your
place of vulnerability. He will gather you and begin iron out the wrinkles of
the past and present you as a prepared garment ready to wear in the new season
that has just arrived.
With God you are
never hung out to dry without the hope of something better. God will use this
experience for His glory and for your betterment. With God being hung out to dry
is not the end. Sometimes it is the very beginning you always wanted, but
never knew was possible.
