"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
I never get tired of that promise. It's easy to believe it when you can see God's faithfulness with hindsight, but what if you are in the midst of a trying situation?
You cling to this promise for dear life.
If you have relationship problems, believe that He will work out the heart-pain for good in your life.
If you have financial problems, believe that He will work for good in those dark, anxiety-filled days.
If you have fears of the future or even of the present, He is right there working for good in your situation.
As His child, you can know that He will accomplish good things...and most of the good things aren't seen things. Many times the good things are the unseen fruit that is born in our character, in our attitudes, in making us a little bit more like Jesus.
So whatever life may be tossing your way, we can find rest and peace. Rest in knowing that no matter how bad it feels or how confusing it seems, He has a good plan for us.

I needed to read this tonight. Thank you and God bless. xx
Aimee, I know what it feels like to cling to those words. Sometimes daily. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I shared that verse with our Compassion International children in our last letters to them. It is a good reminder, for sure!
THanks for sharing this. I think sometimes its so easy to get caught up in the dailies of life, that I can forget that he is at work in the midst of it all.
I needed that today! Thank you.
for our good and His glory!
Your blog has beens uch a healing place for me the last few days. Love your last few post. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for that wonderful verse and wisdom at the start of a day! This will be a GOOD day! :)
I have been struggling with believing this. I believe Him, in Him. But in the midst of the grief I endure it is so hard to see how my dead baby can bring good. I have lost 3 babies in 4 years, 2 of them in well into the second trimester.
It is so hard. I can function. But I struggle...although I know the hindsight thing. He has made good my broken before.
Okay I am babbling...but thank you for this reminder that He makes things good...He is good.
