God’s Love Wins
“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
Have you ever had a moment in your life when you felt that there can be no good that can comes from this? It is always a sad thought. There is some part of us that when we are in bad situations, we are torn by the thought that this has to just be the worst thing that has happened but there is also some part of us that is looking for the hope in the midst of sorrow, We all know that there are terrible things that happen to people every day which causes them to question and ask what good could come of this.
Last week we talked about how God has a purpose for our lives, but that does not mean that God has a detailed plan for every second of our lives. We can get in the way of God’s purposes, but even more than that other people, and terrible accidents can get in the way of God’s purpose for our lives. In true honesty this means that God never planned for you to face whatever trouble you have faced in your life. It is not God’s purpose for you to come face to face with evil, injustice, loss, pain, and grief, but the trouble is that all of these are a part of living in a fallen world. So what does God do about all of these situations where His purpose gets upset by other things?
