God is ALWAYS good. I was studying Romans 8:28 today and during this time God taught me so much. This verse is so encouraging to me. It made me realize that the hardships in our lives don't come from God. He does not throw you into the water just so he can throw you a life raft to show his love. He does not make bad things happen just so he can be our Hero.
It is so funny how we learn from his word. I was actually studying to prepare for the talk I have to give to our YoungLives girls next week and I'll be, if he wasn't using that to teach me a lesson. Things happen to us because we are human , living in a sinful word. Does God want these things to happen to us, NO!!! He wants to be there to get us to the other side of it. He wants to be our rock, our leader and our guide, our comforter and our peace. Do you think God really made you sick, so that he could heal you & show how powerful he is. Do you really think God wants us to suffer. Do you really think he has to do that to show his power. It really makes you think. I create most of my problems all by myself, I don't need anyones help. God is our father and he only wants to protect you from this world and teach you. Now don't get me wrong God does have a firm hand and is unwavering in what he wants you to do, he is our father.
What might have destroyed your life ( not caused by God ) can be turned into something beautiful and used for his glory. No matter how sorted the details or how great the loss. God loves you and did not do that to you. He does however want to see you through it and give you peace.
God has so much that he wants to bless you with!!!! I did something the other day that I did not want to do. I wanted to relax while my kids were in school , not have to be productive for someone else. I was running on my last bit of patience and was low on caffeine. But I resisted the urge to say "NO" and God blessed me for it ten fold!!! Listening to god is not the hard part..... obeying is. To him be the glory!!
