I
wanted to write about this passage separate from the other ones because 1) I could not figure out a way to intertwine
it into my previous post and 2) I think this passage needs more attention than
a small blog post could handle.
“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 think this verse gets
misinterpreted. It does not mean that
nothing bad will ever happen to you, it simply means that GOD will work those
bad situations for your good. Thinking
about my life before I became a believer~ lots of bad stuff happened to
me. However those bad things helped to
form me into the woman I am today. I
have a gentle nature, but underneath that I am a very strong women of GOD. I have overcome great things in my life because
of Christ and I am grateful for that.
Second, I think this verse gets
distorted because people think they can just do whatever they want and GOD will
honor it. This is false doctrine. A man reaps what he sows. GOD will punish you if you disobey (for
example, he will hide his face if you are not repenting of sin). Once the sin has been dealt with, GOD will
use that mistake for HIS glory~ not yours.
The second half of the verse states you are: called according to HIS
purpose.
Scripture outlines GOD’s plan for
our life and it is very simple: Believe in, Trust, Love and Obey JESUS. I know that living the Christ filled life is
more complicated that than. GOD
will meet you where you are. He will
help you, if you earnestly seek him.
