I
really enjoyed some thoughts that my daughter Abigail wrote:
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God..” Romans 8:28
God
said He was working everything out for my good.
Not
my comfort.
Not
my happiness.
For
my good.
He
is working every day through His Spirit to move things into and out of
place…for my good.
He’s
bringing pain and trials into my life…for my good.
He’s
organized a series of situations to teach me how to bear more of His
fruit…always working for my good.
He’s
planned out long, lonely nights and desperate, raging fights…for my
good.
He’s
planted refreshing gardens in my path, foreboding mountains obstructing my
road, and silent valleys in my way…all for my good.
He
has shone a light to guide my feet and paved a careful, narrow way…for my
good.
He’s
let His whisper be heard, His hand to be felt, and His glory to be
seen.
Whether
in my humanity I thought His way wasn’t always the easiest, in my spirit, I
always knew it was the best.
His
ways are higher.
His
thoughts are wiser.
He’s
never failed to and will never fail to work all things out for my good.
My
good.
So true!
