And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose. (Romans
8:28)
It is cloudy outside making it a cooler day than what we had
the last few weeks. It gets really hot in the summer, but this year it just
seems much hotter than normal. Funny weather. Finally, it is Friday which means
two more nights and then my kids are with me. Can’t wait.
So, Paul says that all
things work together for good to them that loves God. This specific verse came
up a few times this week and I thought that I will share it with you. When you
look at what is happening in me and in my life at the moment you will know that
I understand this verse much better now.
God is just confirming His love and His forgiveness over me
and over life and He is slowly putting me in place as His plans are unfolding around
me. Paul says, “all things”. Now when he says all things, he means all things. In
all the things, troubles, mistakes, problems, challenges, pain and loss and
more God will let it all work together for good.
I have change from an angry ex-husband to a caring person
towards everyone and towards my ex-wife. I realised that if I want my kids to
grow up and learn how a man must treat a woman, they will see it in my behaviour
and in what I do.
I am not parenting two boys, I am preparing two men for
life. I am the Word of God that speaks life into their little lives. I am the
one who will set the bar and be the example that they can live up to. I am their
father, but I am also their link to knowing God. If I expect it, I must
demonstrate it in my way of life.
This is also vital in how we treat other and how we expect
them to know God. God is love and the answer to any problem, but I must be
willing to stand up and show that love and trust God in all things. I must glorify
Him when all things come together, and I must tell every one of His love and
grace over my life. God is so good.
This weekend make it your mission or your goal to allow God
to let all things in our lives work together for good. Let us trust Him and adore
Him and seek Him first. Be the person God made you to be and allow Him to open
your eyes for your faults and follow His voice and let Him guide you.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
