This is so often how God works. Satan sets a horrible destructive bomb and forlorn pieces are left scattered all over. Then God ranges out even wider than the pieces and gathers them into something new and better.

True but we also have to do something that is very difficult for us to do. Some things must be turned over to The Lord and ask His Will be done. His Will may well not be what we wanted or expected but can in time bring greater things. Adversity is GOD's tempering tool for us as fire is to steel.

I have two cousins also confined to wheelchairs for life. One can use her arms and hands OK. One can move nothing but fingers just barely. What was GOD's purpose? A mans soul perhaps that nothing or no one else could reach? A hardened USMC WW2 combat vet who saw action on the islands in Japan? Friends couldn't lead him to the Lord. But seeing his grand kid keep on keeping on touched him. I saw the man a couple years before he died bawl like a baby as a hospital Chaplain {Retired Military} was talking to him. When his time came he was ready. He was changed though still rough around the edges. What is a lifetime of her affliction vs the mans eternal soul being lost? But she has reached and inspired many others though.

GOD's thinking and plan of salvation He began in Genesis is something our mind can't fully grasp.
