All things come together for good. Right? I'm pretty sure that 100% of you reading this have heard this. We don't think much about it, but we miss so much of the point. We take a Bible verse and only use half of it. Sadly, we tend to take out the most important part of it. The whole verse is "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (NASB) Good things will come to those who believe in God. God loves each and every one of us and wants what's best for us, but we have to choose if we follow Him or not. When we choose to follow God, we open the door to receive the many blessings He gives to His people. I'm guilty of using these phrases without saying "for those who love God." I've said it to people who didn't believe in God. It took one of my friends mentioning it during a small group discussion, to make me realize that I was using a Bible verse out of context. I've become more aware of when I use that verse and make sure I use it as the full saying. Since God's ways are higher than our ways, it doesn't always seem like all things work together for good. We don't understand why we have to walk in valleys, where it doesn't seem like things will end up being good. We have to trust in God, knowing that He can do anything. Sometimes we have to go through dark times to find out more about who God wants us to be or to make us stronger. It might take a while to figure out why you had to go through the tough times, but it's rewarding in the end. For example, it took me a while to figure out why I had to go through all the things in my testimony. Now I use my testimony to help others who have encountered the same things. I don't live in so much fear anymore. God has shown me how He takes bad situations and turns them out for the better. God conquers all! If you are going through a tough time right now, surrender whatever it is to Him. He'll show you the good that will come out of it, for believing in Him. God bless!
Love Always,
