Don't you hate it when people give an easy answer to your big-time heartaches or difficult questions? I saw this T-shirt in a shop a couple of weeks ago. There's a German saying that means, in essence: "all will be good.""Alles wird gut!" = Everything will turn out ok.
While this could be just one of those trite expressions, in real life, this "goodness" actually can take place because we know the Creator & Master Builder, God, who turns rough places into smooth paths. Who makes the big "ouch's" in life have a new significance, far from simply a mediocre happenstance, or a meaningless catastrophe. Existence and circumstances on earth now aren't always fair. But in the end, Life does make sense. And some day, even if we have to wait until heaven, God will bring on the (truly) good stuff. Isn't that a relief?
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,8 for those who are called according to his purpose. " - Romans 8:28What is one Good Thing that you've seen God do this week so far?... even if it started with something that didn't look that way...
"...and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things1 that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed." - Joshua 23:14
