This promise speaks for itself.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Get this...NEWS FLASH...God is busy working! You bet he is! No lazy Lord sitting on the throne. No bored Jesus just waiting for something to do. NO sir! He has his hand in the mix. He has his mind in the game. He has his eyes set on the prize, and guess what; YOU are the prize!
This isn't how he works with just anyone. You've got to be counted among those who actually love him. We know we love him when we keep his commandments, when we do what pleases him, when we seek him with our whole heart. When we live like he is our tomorrow, he makes everything that happens turn into something favorable for us. It might be refinement in our character, but that will allow us to shine like stars in the universe. His working all things together might require that we go without some of the material things of a life. But that simply drives us deeper into a longing after heaven. One thing is certain, whatever circumstances come our way are only going to serve our good! Troubled times mean stronger faith. Wild difficulties only mean a firmer foothold. Hurt only leads to healing. We may as well love him with all our hearts. He does!
