For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
Deuteronomy 23:4-5 New International Version
The beauty and tenderness of God's affection really struck me in this passage. God took what was evil and not only protected His children from it but turned it into good, simply because He loves them.
How beautiful.
