“If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated suffering”
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose.
I have served Jesus long enough to know that it is imperative that you believe that nothing touches your life unless the Father allows it. Therefore, if He allows it, He will cause it to work for our highest, best and eternal good. You have got to know this! If not, your faith will constantly waver based on your circumstances. You must know that God will take the most difficult and painful things in your life to mold you and shape you more into the image of Jesus Christ.
Eph. 3:19 has perhaps, has impacted my life like no other verse. It says, “to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” His love for you surpasses your ability to comprehend! 1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Read the quote at the top again and thank God if you are undergoing a very difficult and painful time in your life, James says, “Count it all joy!” (James 1:2) God’s love for you is making something very beautiful out of your life! Believe it!
Every blessing!
