Your Own Good


And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28


Have you ever had to do something that you really didn’t want to do, but you knew it was in your best interest. I mean mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate exams are not usually on anyone’s fun things to do list. However, you know they need to be done. Not everything good is made up of rainbows, unicorns, and butterflies.

I would be the last one to tell you that your child dying, or your cancer diagnosis was good for you. I can tell you God is still working for you. He is still there. No, He did not stop these things from happening, but He didn’t cause them either. I can promise you this, He loves you and is walking with you through them. God is working for your good by loving you, holding you, and staying by your side even when you are hating Him.

God has big shoulders. Be angry! Let Him know how much you are hurting. It is so OK to not be OK. When you have exhausted yourself from crying and hating, God will still be there. When you are ready, He will dust you off and help you see the sun shining again. I promise God is working His good for you.


Lord, thank you for always being by my side. I know You are working for my good. My tests today will be my testimony someday. ~amen
